High Tidings
From the arsenic stained cliffs of West Cornwall to the fishing ports of Newlyn, Cornwall has a landscape scarred and moulded by its industry..
These patterns of rust and labour have a unique atmosphere that we are evoking in our bedroom design for BAC.!
This combined with the breathtaking peace and meditative space that are provided by the Cornish skies and landscapes.
Taking inspiration from the water that flooded through the BAC a year ago, these rooms will have a beautiful rusting quality - the colours of the gorse, the mines and the seas... a vision of Cornwall that is separate from the picture postcards and the world of holiday makers, but exists alongside - both invisible and everywhere.
The Pasty’s Progress
On the 4th April we awakened the rooms through song and story with The Pasty’s Progress.. a procession beginning at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro and wending it’s way to Battersea Arts Centre..
Throughout Cornwall there will be Spring processionals and this newly created ancient ritual saw a band of musicians and performers deliver homemade quilts and a giant pasty (donated by Choak’s of Falmouth) to the Cornish workers transforming the BAC attic spaces into these bedrooms.
We will began at midday on Lemon Quay outside the Hall for Cornwall where a choir and live band accompanied the Ceremony of the Pasty. The Lord High Pasty Chancellor of Cornwall delivered a giant pasty in dramatic style and the procession began.
We will then processed from Truro - Battersea via the Great Western Railway and the London Underground system, processing up Lavender Hill and arriving at the BAC where the building was filled with the sound of the Cornish Seas, recorded by Ciaran Clarke.
Pausing only for a pint, the procession made it’s way to the bedrooms where we awakened the rooms with a ritual of music, words and song - speaking their purpose and filling them with the sounds and spirit of Cornwall.
