- About my artwork
- In my artistic practice I research the language of the body, the availability of knowledge and memory in the body's physicality and everyday movements. Through a dialogue between space, movement and psychologically charged imagery I am investigating the absurd, irrational and contradictory aspects of human life, that speaks to our whole register of perception, emotions and experiences.
As the focal point lies the performative, and all my work, whether it be live performance, video, sound, animation, sculpture or drawing, has its starting point in a bodily perception of the world, and in essence are only various ways of researching approaches to performance as artistic medium. Ultimately I find performance art as a medium extremely difficult. For me, being able to capture the moment of the meeting between the performer and the audience is the crux of performance art – to obtain the feeling of a shared, unpredictable moment – while utilising the tools of the medium to its maximum. Everyone has a body – and so using the body as a tool of communication transgresses the barriers of language, culture and class.
I utilise improvisation and play to explore and respond to specific spaces and situations, making use of costume, props and the framing possibilities of the camera as well as a language of movement drawing on a bodily memory of physical and mental experiences. Space, costume, props, the camera and/or the audience become my "partners" which with whom to interact. Through frequently focusing on raw close up imagery, I bring the tactile connection between body and surroundings to the forefront - and also the concrete and real presence of the body in the physical world.
