Field Notes brings together Tobias Wheal, Sarah Wheal, Jiating Yang and Stacey Williams. Artwork and music have been created in response to the unfolding seasons at Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve. This exhibition includes sketches, notes, music, and maquettes made in response to their time there.
The partnership with a vibrant nature reserve aims to engage people in the act of looking, to slow down and pay attention to details and subtle changes in landscape and wildlife as we move through the seasons. Placed at considered spots, installation, music & drawing become the antithesis of our screen driven world, inviting us to stop, look and ‘be’ in our surroundings.
Stacey Williams is a Drawing Practitioner, often working in charcoal and ink or watercolour. Through drawing she explores time and its movement, through the lenses of loss, motherhood and nature. The work is often layered and durational, building up over time as a series or as one evolving drawing.
Tobias Wheal is a multidisciplinary artist and musician creating collaborative, immersive experiences that make art and music accessible and inclusive. His work blends music with visual elements, such as performance art, film and drawing, to engage audiences beyond the traditional reach of classical music.
Sarah Wheal is a performance artist and installation storyteller, whose practice is one of travelling theatre moving through the Sussex scenery, collecting prop materials and unexpected encounters along the way. Local landscape provides the stage sets whilst her three muses, Spontaneity, Unpredictability and Synchronicity act as prompters.
Jiating Yang’s art combines illustration and multimedia, playing with colors, textures, and forms. Drawn to Animism, the belief that everything has a spirit, this inspires her to capture the energy and essence of nature’s organic shapes and beauty. Jiating’s process is rooted in experimentation and spontaneity, inviting others to see with curiosity, connection, and a sense of wonder.
