An Artist With an Ear to the Ground
Lucie Potter is an artist with an ear to the ground ... and the sky, and the trees, and the air. The latest oneplace artist in residence at Tatton Park, Lucie Potter has been capturing the sounds of Tatton for a special artwork. Over the last few months Lucie has been field recording the day and night-time sounds of the parkland, for the creation of a distinctive Sound Walk. This will be available for the public to experience from the beginning of July. Lucie's research for this piece has explored how visitors engage with Tatton's parkland, through both historic and current maps and guided tours. She has combined her research into a script and presents a new way to experience Tatton's parkland through sound and story. Lucie commented "Sound is a sensual medium, which can evoke other times and places for us. Hearing is subtle yet can also have a profound effect on the listener". Using high tech recording equipment and sensitive microphones, Lucie's work "Reveals a world just out of our perception". One of her most evocative Tatton moments was a night recording on a cold February night near the Old Hall, when she picked up the eerie sound of sparring stags. This thrilling moment can be heard at the very end of the sound walk. The scripted voiceover and interviews use the talents of a number of Tatton staff and volunteers. As such, her work has very much been a dialogue with the people who work within the parkland, as well as the wildlife which lives amongst it. In addition, Lucie has held workshops with members of Community Day Services based at Flatt Lane Community Centre in Ellesmere Port. Lucie hopes visitors will enjoy being guided in a new, very individual and intimate way through a possibly familiar landscape. Lucie commented "There is something about walking and listening, especially in such a beautiful place as Tatton Park, which is quite special. I have planned a few sound effect surprises along the way for people too!" Brendan Flanagan, General Manager commented "Lucie's work adds yet another dimension to the oneplace arts programme, which comes to its finale this year during Cheshire's Year of Gardens with an exhibition at Tatton in July. With a range of work from visual arts to dance, interpreting Tatton's 'sense of place', it was good to include a sound work that gives a different experience of the Park". |
