    Walking Oracle
    Olga Masleinnikova

    Featured in Gallery 3 in Walk Create Project, 2021

    During lockdown I engaged in a daily walk which created a habit of self-compassion, self-enquiry and self-care. A meaningful tracking system has emerged, a path to my past, my present and my future selves. My new habit has become my playful walking oracle in the area of East-Sussex, where I live. I would leave my home setting the following intention: ‘what do I need to understand or to do about my current situation?’ Then I would surrender the answer to my feet, to my senses and to my environment, and take a picture.

    Give it a try. What do you receive? #walking_oracle

    Walking Oracle …. is a series of visuals exploring this experiential connection between our emotional states and our environment. How an inner emotional state or our inner weather or inner chatter are reflected by the way we see, the way we frame and the way we receive our surroundings. Equally, how our surroundings have the potential to inform, to teach and to guide or/and to balance our inner landscapes and our reception of the world.

    An online course and meeting space for us to collect, create and share resources to help us survive, and even thrive, in these unprecedented times.

    My creative invitation is to work around the theme of support:

    - words of support
    - actions of support
    - gestures of support to others
    - or the ones we would like to receive or give to ourselves

    TASK:
    ​Create a response in images, collages, photos or videos of your gestures of support or/and words.

    Bethlem Open School Remote
    An online course and meeting space for us to collect, create and share resources to help us survive, and even thrive, in these unprecedented times.

    Today's invitation is to explore the notion of Flow by following
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Follow a score
    Follow a shape
    Follow your inhale
    Follow an arm in space
    Follow the feet into a new direction in a familiar space
    Follow the feet into a new direction in a freshly discovered space
    Follow a leaf
    Follow a map
    Follow an exhale
    Follow your heart
    Follow a thought
    Follow a sound
    Follow and trust what comes next
    Follow the words in a book, opened on a random page
    Walk, jump, lean and get still
    Run, jump, get still then lean
    Follow what feels right
    Give a gesture of care to yourself
    Send a gesture of support to your colleague
    Follow the beat of your favourite song
    Follow someone else's movement
    Follow your impulse
    Follow the tracing of your hand
    Follow a colour
    Follow your voice
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Share your discoveries of 'follow' and 'flow' by leaving a creative trace: photos, words, collages, sculptures, poems, videos and anything else that seems appropriate. You can also connect your 'gestures of support' by following them one after the other and create a sense of flow.

    What remains... Anatomy of an artist : Being Mr X
    by Michaela Ross, Josip Lizatovic, Gilbert Ratcliff and Olga Masleinnikova
    21-22 May 2016
    Siobhan Davies Studios, London, UK
    ​
    Presentation of the work of Mr X, an artist resident at the Bethlem Royal Hospital. His improvised structures document the endless process of adjustment which occurs as he recalibrates his relationship to the spaces of the institution. Mr X uses his own body to determine the scale of each work, using arm and leg measurements as basic units, operating within the constraints (visible and invisible) imposed on him by the space and staff. Documentation of the making process with Mr X will be on display throughout the building.
