This Sunday Emma hosted a lunchtime event at Harbertonford village hall, as part of her new project, Fields. Emma invited local people to drop in for a scone and to share photographs and stories of floods and snowstorms in the village. We met some wonderful locals, who were generous with their recollections and photos. collected some very interesting stories, and some great old photos of the village under water and deep in snow.
Fields is an ongoing investigation into a number of fields that overlook Harbertonford. During January and February Emma spent a series of days visiting the fields, recording weather, wildlife, atmospheres, human and non-human comings and goings.
The first public outcome of Fields is a 55-minute presentation, to be shown next at PL:ay festival in Plymouth on Friday 27th July, at 6.30pm (see below).
