05 TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY OF LINES BY CAMILLA NELSON

BY CAMILLA NELSON

Over the last year I have been investigating the interdimensional relationship of line, using Tim Ingold’s (LINES: A Brief History) conceptions of “thread” (3D line), mark or trace (2D line) and ghostly line (conceptual line) as a contextual base.

‍LANDSCAPE TRANSCRIPTIONS: Towards an Experimental Ecology of Line attempts to map or transcribe an ecology of relationship between threads, marks, traces, and ideas in a small area of Mere grassland and surrounding chalk downland. It is a hyperlocal study, not just of place and the organisms (bird, fungus, insect, plant, human, animal) that compose this place, but of the linear compositional strategies employed by these organisms.

This study understands presence and re-presencing, or representation, as indisseverably linked processes. I understand these pieces as a series of transcriptions, performative traces and material reflections that demonstrate the line’s significance in the presence and representation of an ecology.

Camilla Nelson is a British language artist, small press publisher, creative programmer and freelance academic. She has a PhD in Performance Writing from Falmouth University/Dartington College of Arts (2012). Her work explores the materiality of language in page-based poetry, soundwork, installation and performance. She is founding editor of Singing Apple Press, a Visiting Research Fellow at Bath Spa University (2023-2025) and member of the PLACE Collective.

‍TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY OF LINE is also a process-driven, six month online course designed for intra-disciplinary artists, writers and thinkers who want to explore the ecological dimensions of their creative-critical practice.
