Podcast No.14 - Geoff Diego Litherland - Woven / Ground

Haarlem Artspace podcast no.14 is an interview between film maker Gavin Repton and Geoff Diego Litherland, and delves deeper into the ideas, motivations and obstacles in realising the work. The podcast features various tracks of music from Woven / Ground Litherland’s new album. Since 2016 Geoff has been redefining his artistic practice; discontent with simply depicting an idea of nature and landscape within his work, he sought to delve deeper into the interconnected threads between painting and the environment. His particular interest lay in using slow, pre-industrial craft processes to create natural canvas materials grown from the earth. This led to a collaboration with his partner, weave designer Angharad McLaren, where they sowed, nurtured and harvested a crop of flax plants. The resulting flax fibre was then processed into hand-spun linen yarn to be hand woven into a patterned linen canvas, primed and painted on by the artist. Weaving and painting became investigative tools to explore the value of labour, locality, materials and their relationships to concepts, both historical and contemporary of inter-connectivity between nature and us. Context and meaning are woven and painted within the surface. For more info about the music:
