An almost obsolete practice, there is an intense intimacy involved, with the sharing of voices and handling of textiles together. Pushed, pulled and sung around a group to be brought to life, waulking melodies are rhythmic to the work undertaken, demonstrating both the nature of skilled labour and knowledge of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artistic practices of Tara Baoth Mooney, Mice Hell and Emily Waszak continue this impetus, and consider the medium of textiles as a channel for communicating comradery, care, and the precariousness of human life. Collectively, they oppose today’s dominant culture of disconnection, exploitation and overconsumption, and propose a return to sharing meditative processes of making, and making-do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"publication__TextContainer-sc-ms3igp-2 ktHKCh\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePublished by Askeaton Contemporary Arts\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover with postcard insert\u003cbr\u003e88 pages \u003cbr\u003e210 x 285 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781739426316\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Askeaton Contemporary Arts Public","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58169319194955,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/waulking_meditations.webp?v=1787051548","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/ga\/products\/a-waulking-set-mediations-on-the-fabric-of-life-tara-baoth-mooney-mice-hell-and-emily-waszak-with-niamh-moriarty","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
