Ooh, what an excitement and a fear... introductions!
Here's a photograph of me at 'Apple Day' at Penlanole Farm, mid-Wales. It's a place that's always been important, for imagining and constantly challenging what it means to make art.
Growing up in the East Midlands, it has felt like a backwater to London, or a middle-class commuter network, depleted from its agricultural heritage. But my experience of 'home' has been deeply enriched, since leaving art school (the Ruskin, Oxford in 2006) by spending time here and meeting some great artists interested in farming; I'm very excited to be working with Kate and others on 7SIGHTS.
Georgina Barney is studying for a practice-led PhD at Gray's School of Art, 'Curating the Farm' funded by AHRC (until 2012).
