Embodied Remembering
Restored Presences
An evolving work of remembrance, presence and resistance
Through the making and gathering of small red Prayer Dolls,
Restored Presences seeks to honour those persecuted during the European witch hunts,
exploring how simple acts of making might become a collective act of rememberance.
The work is currently unfolding through artistic research, embodied practice
and explorations with invited participants.
Restored Presences has its roots in a longer artistic enquiry
which found expression in an installation of Prayer Dolls in a rowan grove on Dartmoor in 2018,
as part of an event called The Remembering.
