A
re-staging of the experiment in distributed protocol,
'Cannibal Forking', that occurred on 25 & 26
September 2010 at 'The Field'.
Cannibal Forking - a distributed protocol
Participants are invited to carve their own cannibal fork using
traditional skills and
English native woods in a self-conscious act of repetition.
They are also invited to pass on the skills and knowledge require to
make further
cannibal forks.
*NB
The making of cannibal forks may or may not predispose a participant
towards cannibalism.

One-day course to learn traditional English green woodworking
skills with Alana Jelinek and carve a cannibal fork using native woods.
Working in tandem with, but also independent of, the Museum artwork,
'Tall Stories: Cannibal Forks'
Alana Jelinek initiated a 'distributed
protocol' in order to replicate the myths and
knowledges that will continue the construction of cannibal forks.
English green woodworking
skills form part of this protocol.
