| Gabrielle Hoad & Megan Calver | Durlston scores (work in progress) | 2021 |
Here is a set of scores quarried from the Durlston Country Park online Daily Diary between Monday 4 January and Friday 8 January 2021, with an additional compilation from Monday 11 January
Every day (apart from Christmas Day) the Durlston rangers record their early-morning observations from the site and post them online. Text from these posts has been systematically excavated and reassembled by myself and Megan Calver to create a series of scores for action.
Durlston is a 320-acre park and nature reserve on the outskirts of Swanage, Dorset. It includes the remains of two quarries: one for Purbeck Stone and the other Portland Limestone.
Every day for five days we created an instruction from the Daily Diary entry and then each enacted it in our own homes, working under the restrictions of lockdown and improvising with what was to hand.
A selection of the outcomes were documented on Instagram: rapid ‘sketches’ made with a view to creating more ambitious future works with and for the site.
