About this event
Galloway collaborates with artist Mollie Goldstrom on a food event incorporating gorse to reflect on how diaphragms aid breathing alongside sensations of bristling and shuddering. The work is supported by holymolecornwall and involves a talk informed by the relationship between these resonant forms.
gorse (n.) Old English gors “gorse, furze,” from Proto-Germanic *gorst- (source also of Old Saxon, Old High German gersta, Middle Dutch gherste, Dutch gerst, German gerste “barley”), from PIE *ghers- “to bristle” (source also of Latin hordeum “barley;” see horror).
horror (n.) early 14c., “feeling of disgust;” late 14c., “emotion of horror or dread,” also “thing which excites horror,” from Old French horror (12c., Modern French horreur) and directly from Latin horror “dread, veneration, religious awe,” a figurative use, literally “a shaking, trembling (as with cold or fear), shudder, chill,” from horrere “to bristle with fear, shudder,” from PIE root *ghers- “to bristle” (source also of Sanskrit harsate “bristles,”. Also formerly in English “a shivering,” especially as a symptom of disease or in reaction to a sour or bitter taste.
diaphragm (n.) late 14c., diafragma, in anatomy, “muscular membrane which separates the thorax from the abdominal cavity in mammals,” from Late Latin diaphragma, from Greek diaphragma”partition, barrier, muscle which divides the thorax from the abdomen,” from diaphrassein “to barricade,” from dia “across” (see dia-) + phrassein “to fence or hedge in,” which is of uncertain etymology. Beekes suggests it is a substrate word and finds “no convincing correspondence outside Greek.”
