An Ever Moving Now

An Ever Moving Now explores rewilding and our relationship with nature. With warnings of a sixth mass extinction the climate crisis is at the forefront of politics, society, science, and the arts. An Ever Moving Now sits at the vanguard of a growing movement, while offering a distinct step by focusing on rewilding.

The national trails and public footpaths of South West England run thematically and structurally through An Ever Moving Now. To create the work, Sherwood moves between immersive hikes to developing work in her studio, transforming her photography and auto-ethnographic nature writing into a body of work that communicates the urgency of rewilding both the land and ourselves. This interplay enables direct conversation between the work and the land.

An Ever Moving Now began during a residency with Plymouth University’s Marine Institute and has since, with time and research, expanded into something greater. This combination of rewilding, art and walking represents an innovative and interdisciplinary opportunity, through which Sherwood hopes to contribute to the transformation of personal and societal relationships with the natural environment.

An Ever Moving Now is a work in progress.
