MASS X ECOLOGY OF SOULS

Concept

We are the artists dwelling on the edge of ancient woodland in Knottswood’s craggy gorge aligned with Robinwood Mill. Our inspiration during this challenging time of change for all, was to shift perspective, go underground be rhizomic and become more open and think, question, make and create a collection of new works connecting the power of the landscape with humanity.
Phsycogeographically we moved around, merged and aligned with powerful ancient and historical narratives, places everyone can physically and spiritually go and connect with.
As Studio Knottswood in Mass X: we create through and with past present and future relationships with our bodies our cultures, in a multi-dimensional landscape imbued with myths and
folklore.
The exhibition aims to viscerally express that we are not owned and controlled by governing forces, we are free to belong in our natural environment. We are the people living, inhabiting our places and our spaces. We are all powerful souls; this is our ecology.

Studio Knottswood are creating lived experiences of art, heritage and ecology; making reconnections to the place and landscape, rooted in the here and now, revealing unfound ground paths and rhizomic connections hidden within the people’s, places, and environments.

Their psychogeographic artworks constellates within the Calder Valley and Todmorden’s folklore, myths, and ritual are invoked through visual and aural storytelling. Experiencing Mass X: An Ecology of Souls is about being and art; making a space for change, dissolving the system, the simulation and the spectacle, and connecting us to our physical human and spiritual heritage.
