India Flint uses ecologically sustainable contact printing methods to color paper, bone, stone and cloth – working with leaves, flowers, bark, water, minerals, the discarded artefacts and hard detritus of human inhabitation and the local weed burden.
She stitches and dyes dresses, wallworks and sometimes costumes for dance. Her work has been described as using the earth as the printing plate and time as the press, conflating the visual and written poetics of place and memory; immersing herself in and paying deep attention to the environment, gathering thought and experience, imagery and marks.
The work of each day literally begins with a walk.
fieldnotes is a collection of works that map wanderings, note memories and record experiences of place.
