| Description: | Using the gallery architecture as a fulcrum hanging in the balance works reflexively with movement through and around the exhibition space to involve visitors in a sensorial engagement with ideas of breath, earth and political protest. Through a series of related floor-based works; a tufted carpet tailored to fit the entrance corridor, a poured painting and a foot-thrown pot made in collaboration with ceramicist Yuta Segawa attention is brought to ground and feet transforming the gallery floor into a painterly field. The exhibition includes a video work developed with dancers (Antoinette Brooks-Daw, former premier dancer Northern Ballet and Daisy West), non-dancers and a musician in which danced movement is intercut with gestures of protest and the intermittent call of a solo oboe. The installation is part of an ongoing body of work related to women and architecture but in this instance architecture and space are used to reflect on ecological relations. |
