Dwelling Space - Chester, Lindisfarne, Frodsham - 2009
Dwelling Space is the third installation from Cheshire artist Wendy Rudd following the eye-catching mobiles of Windsails and the journey through Nets. Her work surrounds the viewer with textile-based constructions which create spaces for reflection and discovery.
It is a village of conical shelters – small
temporary enclosures made of cane, string, paper and scrim which together
form a large installation. On the floor of each shelter is one line from a
poem written by poet
Andrew Rudd to accompany the exhibition. Walk among
them, look through, go inside. Find a quiet place.

The green in the centre of the priory on Lindisfarne is an enclosed
space. One summer’s evening it was filled with cream tents, preparing
for a medieval festival. A circle of grass became a home for a
while. The next day they were gone.
De Caussade wrote a book called ‘The Sacrament of the Present Moment.’
Alfred North Whitehead uses
the phrase ‘The present is holy ground’ I use the words Dwelling Space and construct temporary shelters with cane and thread.Wendy Rudd
