Joyful memories of sunny days, the promise and comfort of a sunrise/sunset and the buoyancy of calm waters to keep going and reignite hope, when the barbed reality of life entraps and tries to drown you. Be freed by the vibrancy that promises more, the AND of new beginnings, change and a brighter future, you are so close to the next moment.
Embedded In The Flesh Of The World series explores memory embodied; reactivating gestures, marks, punctuations, recalling encounters with/in the world. I remembered walking with the wind howling around me, debris/leaves swirling; I remembered running across different terrain, sometimes falling, slipping, being sucked into the mud; I remembered hiding in the grass, swimming in oceans, lochs, rivers; I remembered touching, feeling, sensing, almost belonging. The physicality of my making as sensuous as the materials I use and the encounters I've experienced. I choose to leave the marks of my passage, my making just as those marks have been left on/within me. I am embedded in these forms. #sensuouspractice
