CANDID TURNERBRIDGER
Eco Artist
Candide Turner Bridger is an ecoartist and pigment maker, based in Norfolk. She works with the earth in site specific projects, using the soil to make rich and colourful pigments. Her work questions our relationship to nature by exploring symbols and patterns within.
Candide researches the history and folk tales from a site she has taken the soil to make pigment from, and holds workshops where the audience are encouraged to create a dialogue around our history with nature, and the importance of ecological and social justice. Her aim is to inspire care and respect for the world we live in.
Ecoart is grounded in ecological ethics; it encompasses the physical, biological, cultural, political and historical aspects of ecosystems.
Candide is excited to be running her first workshops for us here in Walsingham, She will be teaching how to make inks and charcoal and later earth pigmments.
