Whilst working alone in the studio, I’ve become interested in the traces of remembered movement. How can I build material from the ground up, using only my body and muscle memory as my resources?
Just move
What’s there?
Notice movement
Pick a movement
Turn it over, like a pebble in your hand, know every part of it.
Remove anything superfluous
Once you have it in essence and form, begin to play with it.
Change it’s shape
Stretch, condense it, reverse it(?)
Now hold on to the framework of that material and move in and out of it
Now let it go and…
Just move
What’s there?
and so on….
