Individual Residencies
2021 | Catherine Street
My aim is to pursue what could be called a yearning for synthesis within the complex web of sciences and spiritual practices that pivot on the mind. I am moving away from previous, quite austere performance-to-camera work, that has focused on repetition and endurance, towards a much more free and joyful mode of presentation that admits other bodies, minds and voices to the process.
Nature is becoming more important in my practice and so I am undertaking periods of free writing and sound recording, outside amongst lush vegetation, arid soils, and nearby hills.
I am using the relatively new area of scholarship in queer theology to guide the research. Here I’m interested in how this scholarship articulates themes of pleasure, joy and freedom. Overall I work towards the creation of diverse, synthetic work that envelops the viewer in vitality and joy whilst engendering contemplation of spiritual and psychological themes.
