Tut Tut (Spalford Warren, Nottinghamshire 2011)

A site specific performance responding to the landscape of Spalford Warren in Nottinghamshire. The work considers the human construction of landscape and the nature of contamination, responding to a site of a unique heathland with diverse flora and fauna, that has variously been contaminated by WW2 bomb and chemical weapons storage and disposal, and postwar commercial forestry, before acquiring its protected status. The work explicitly draws on narratives of the English landscape and their subsequent globalised appropriation, especially the stories of Winnie the Pooh ... tut tut looks like rain.
