To Delve
Pushing into the air around me and moving the clouds. A needed force. A not quite satisfied. A mood. This mood. The chaos of pushing away. The unbalance. The swimming into it. A diving into it. I am diving down. Why does my head want to be on the ground? But also up in the air. Stop and see if you can listen for a while. Are you delving into distraction?

From what you have…
This is an online exhibition of work created during the Coronavirus epidemic. A residency in my mother’s home that began on 16 March 2020 as the UK went into lockdown. It uses what I have, where I am, what I do as a starting point. In takes into consideration my wider artistic research into surrendering . It experiments, and questions how I live and how I exist as an artist. How I want to spend my time and what needs to be at the forefront. It is an ongoing accumulation of things I make during this time, it will be constantly re-curated depending on the material produced and what emerges.
These Dances I Dance
Daily walks that lead to daily dances. Wind. Noise. Inner peace.
Public // Private // Non public space
Ritual
The momentum in each step
Re-visiting, knowing the path
The urge to move in ways other than one step in front of the other
The shaky, the fumbling, the inarticulate, the not quite clear
These dances I dance among the trees with my inner stillness.
W/C 6 April
In the Wind
The wind carries
The wind moves
The wind shakes
The wind stirs
The wind
The wind
The wind
W/C 6 April
Thrashing the hole
There’s this thing called thrashing
Like when you lose it
When you lash out
When you lose control a bit
I’m not doing it here, but I remembered it here
I lose myself to the beat, I can’t escape the beat
The beat is how I work
The arms are my vessel
I am seen from beneath
I open up the possibility to be seen in different ways
Ways which I am not usually seen
Encompassing
Rounding
Never perfect
Never easy
Never still
W/C 13 April
