Fermynwoods Podcast 6 - Tom Baskeyfield

Author: Fermynwoods Contemporary Art October 11, 2020 Duration: 43:48
Episode 6 of our podcast features a discussion between artist Tom Baskeyfield and writer Josh Allen. Tom's works on paper, depicting local stones floating on a black plane, are currently on display in our In Steps of Sundew exhibition. As you'll hear in this discussion, stone is both emblem and starting point for much larger issues and ideas. We begin with a pebble in the hand of a rambler and travel through issues of mindfulness, theology, human vs geological time, nationalism, and home. Tom has provided a wealth of supplementary material for this discussion. Visit the link for images, a full bibliography of works sited during this discussion, and a short film, as well as a full transcript of this podcast episode. http://fermynwoods.org/fermynwoods-podcast-episode-6--tom-baskeyfield/

Tucked away in the rural landscapes of Northamptonshire, an arts charity quietly cultivates some of the most intriguing conversations and sonic experiments you can hear. The Fermynwoods Contemporary Art Podcast extends that work directly into your headphones, transforming the medium itself into a gallery without walls. This isn't about recording traditional talks; it's an active, experimental space where contemporary art is both displayed and created specifically for audio. You might find yourself immersed in a newly commissioned piece of sound art one week, then dropped into an intimate discussion between artists the next, followed by a thoughtful audio essay that challenges how we perceive public space. By focusing on accessibility, this podcast ensures that innovative art isn't confined to a physical location, but lives and breathes from people's homes. Each episode is a curated experience, reflecting Fermynwoods' core mission of supporting life through art by commissioning meaningful engagements. It’s for anyone curious about the processes behind visual art and the potential of sound to frame new ideas. Listen and discover how a charity's remote commissions can resonate so personally, turning a private listen into a public encounter with the forefront of artistic practice.
