Clinging Love

The idea of speaking to stones reappears again and again in Rebecca Jagoe's work: as an everyday practice and a way of reflecting on the co-presence of the ancient, the present and the imaginary. Her explorations, in writing and experimental media, of the ways in which language, land and strategies of other-being intertwine, fit perfectly with the entire ethos of this series of commissions responding to the thematic strands of Artes Mundi 10. Among the references Rebecca's piece encompasses are Naomi Rincón Gallardo's trilogy at Chapter, the reflections of the philosopher Empedocles and the geological history of South Wales – it is a multi-voiced and emotional piece of writing that everyone should read.
