If You Know, You Know: The role of psychism as empathy in contemporary ecofeminist art, exploring the work of Florence Peake and Tamara Henderson

​

It is the story that makes the difference. It is the story that hid my humanity from me. [...] it is with a sense
of urgency that I seek the nature, subject, words of the other story, the untold one, the life story” (Le Guin,
1989, p.168)

I seek to explore an untold story, one suppressed throughout history, a story we all know, but have
forgotten. To unravel the ties between psychism, the oppression of women and ‘the feminine’, connection
with the more-than-human, and how we have forgotten this knowledge.

In this essay, I examine how contemporary artists have explored a reconnection to this hidden or forgotten knowledge, by creating space for it to be re-cultivated, through exploring psychism and intuition, and a relation between this and ecofeminism. I first explore how this knowledge has been suppressed, drawing on theories of agnotology, looking at the history of dominant religion in the West, and how these have served as tools to uphold the structures of capitalism, patriarchy and colonialism, which remove us from connection with the more-than-human.

My writing was selected for publication as part of Axis’ call-out for writings on the experience of art school, where I reflected on on the deeper lessons of artistic practice beyond technical skill. The piece considers the less visible aspects of creativity—persistence, uncertainty, and the role of community in artistic growth.​

VVV Residency is a collaborative online residency between artists in the UK and facilitators Vegapunk and VisualContainer in Italy. Through a process of digital foraging, each artist created a video work from found footage. The residency is a space for discussion around the process and feedback on the works, and the creative process is documented via a public blog.

The Venice Biennale Fellowships Programme with the British Council is a scheme for early career creatives to spend a month in Venice during the Biennale, and supports the British Pavilion exhibition programme. It is a key part of the British Council's presence at the Venice Biennale. During the Fellowship in September 2022 I invigilated Sonia Boyce's Feeling Her Way at Cecilia Alemani's Milk of Dreams, for the 59th Venice Biennale. This experience was so valuable and taught me a huge amount about how people interact with art, and the conversations it can spark. I also undertook my own research, largely focussed on ecofeminism, and made site specific work in response to this research. The Fellowship greatly enhanced my practise as an artist.

Talking Trees, a collaboration between Arts University Bournemouth, and the Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) in Pakistan. The project intertwined creative workshops, field trips, talks and online exchanges between the two organisations. The central inspiration for our project was trees; something our worlds share. Talking Trees allowed a space for creative play and connection with trees for the children at SPARC and the artists in Bournemouth. Born of this project was a publication showing some of our conversations, in Urdu and English, as well as an eclectic collection of our art works. All proceeds from the publication go to aid for the floods in Pakistan.
