Forced Collaboration exhibition at Auction House in Redruth, Cornwall

Forced Collaboration is an online platform that matches artist's practices anonymously and creates a space for cross-disciplinary collaborations through the process of making/following instructions to create artworks.
Forced Collaboration aims to take the pressure off your own practice by experimenting with an idea you won't actually have to make and making an artwork you didn’t actually think of.

The Call of Home Inward videos attempt to explore numerous topics surrounding memory recall, notions of walking to remember, self archiving and nostalgia.
In 2019 I made it my ambition to return to every house/flat/area/town, which I have previously lived, each being a place of personal significance. During these visits I intended to explore active memory recall to facilitate the re surfacing of thoughts, lost memories, and ideas that have remained submerged in my memory bank.
In 2019 I was awarded a Firstsite Collectors Group Award from Firstsite Gallery in Essex, which enabled me to accomplish these journeys and spend time in each area. When I first started undertaking the project I became hyper focused on the houses I was visiting. Though while undertaking these trips it became apparent to me that the house was one component to a wider endeavour. I began walking further afield, for example with Bristol I began re visiting walking routes, other areas of personal significance such as old uni campus, old studios, old places of work, favourite park etc.
I used analogue photography and text to document and capture these return journeys and, the videos formed through an attempt at combing both mediums.
There is an inherent slowness to the videos, and how the images occasionally correlate with what is being said and sometimes not, this was to avoide the videos becoming merely a pictorial description. The collection of six videos are titled Inward

Dialogues 5
The NewBridge Project : Gateshead, Nov 2018.
To mark the culmination of Mark Devereux Projects’ critical mentoring project, Dialogues 5, we will be in residence in The NewBridge Project gallery space, holding three public events that will consider the value of critique. An exhibition of new and recent artwork from the project’s participating artists – Shaun C. Badham, Holly Davey, Hannah Leighton-Boyce, Hollie Miller, and Amy & Oliver-Thomas-Irvine – will act as the catalyst for these discussions.
