Alice Colquhoun: Her Alchemy Matters
Part of Into The Wyld at Williamson Art Gallery
A durational performance that embodies the feminine manifestation of the The Green Knight. In this walkabout performance Colquhoun draw upon representations of the wild feminine in the Williamson, interacting with the public and the heritage exhibition on display.
Inspired by the Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd, who transforms into an owl to escape death, and who Colquhoun views as in tune with and as a magical manifestation of Morgan Le Fey, fairies, and the heart of alchemy.
The performance walkabout will finish with ‘prophetic offerings’ towards the end of the day, where audience members can book in for 1.1 for a spiritual vision with the character. Please select a time slot below.
