Border Song
Kim and poet Linda France received a VARC (Visual Arts in Rural Communities) award to work on a new collaboration responding to the North Tyne Valley in Northumberland. Their result, Border Song, celebrates love of the land, love of spirit, and love between two people in a series of corresponding images and text.
Kim’s sketches, photographs and large detailed drawings reflect the intimate texture and powerful sense of nature found in wild Northumberland places. Inspired by the Old Testament Song of Songs, Linda's stirring poem captures the sense of longing for the beloved, layered with images of land as a mirror to the heart.
