Poppy Jackson: Pathways Home

Ongoing Project

Poppy lives and works from an isolated Suffolk flint cottage with her two young children, Elora and Wanda, surrounded by acres of meadows and woods that are mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Through Live Art in Rural UK, Poppy will be developing a year-long series of performances and actions in the surrounding landscape and further afield into Norfolk and Suffolk. Live works will explore performance as a marker of presence in the land that connects embodied discovery of its history with its potential. Centring these works at the artist’s base will engage, develop and expand local performance art audiences. Performances will be documented by local photographers and videographers, and will build towards a larger event and an exhibition at the culmination of the year-long project.

The artist will compile a new publication, Performance Artists in the UK & Ireland, through which to introduce and deepen East Anglian public and arts audiences,’ as well as art organisation and venues, discovery and understanding of current performance and live art practice.

Poppy Jackson will establish and develop relationships with regional arts organisation, venues and education settings. She will research and collaborate with nearby practitioners whose diverse practices centre on the performative. The nearest town, Diss, will host performance art introductory workshops for local people.

Live Art in Rural UK will enable the transformation of the artists unique home, land with a body of water, studio and workspace into an ‘arts centre’ that can host artists workshops, residencies and events, whilst nurturing and amplifying the artists embodied practice.
