Motectum: BBC Radio interview

EHV has been interviewed on BBC Radio Gloucestershire about her new exhibition Motectum at Gloucester Cathedral. You can hear extracts from the interview on the Motectum page.

Exhibition: "Motectum"

Collection of works as the outcome of a year long residence at Gloucester Cathedral. Presenting a sound installation of pre-recorded human and bird voices and live relay in the Cloisters. A sanctuary in the Garth that will remain and continue to evolve beyond the residency. Portrait heads made out of chickens', pheasants' and ducks' heads and the opening night's performance that confused the discarded and the ceremonial in a gown made out of chicken skins.

Gloucester Cathedral, 30 April - 31st of May 2009
