Co-creation with the Environment – research project in Wigan Flashes. This is a the result of research and works in progress for an environmental residency at Wigan Flashes commissioned by Open Eye Hub Wigan & Leigh.
Wigan flashes are an amazing and haunting example of the ways that humans have caused destruction through exploitation of the land. This land is now being 'rewilded,' it is a post nature scene of beauty where we have destroyed the natural, and the non human living species have adapted to live and thrive. The elements of the exploitation of the land are still present, particularly in such sites as Ochre Flash. This work explores the way we may co-create with the more-than-human in a 'post-nature' environment.
