I am a dancer creating movement formulae with techniques and a wilderness of imagination. My visual art is a similar practise of draughtsmanship and automatic drawing with realism and symbolism.
‘Gallery of Apparitions’ is the mind of the artist as a dancer, a performer and a painter. The artist as medium, channeling visions and ways of seeing.
Trusting to the truth of line, rhythm, geometries, magnetism, balance and senses on paper to compose pencil drawings with layers of meaning.
This exhibition draws the figurative presence between worlds. The lyrical transitory movement of life. The presence of ghosts, of emotion, time and energies around us. The source of the work is the body; the body in space and embodying space itself, physical transformation, trance, euphoria, memory, metamorphosis.
The dance of life and death.
My physical practise and visual art work examine detail into distortion. I push the limits and the edges of things where change occurs. By training methods of improvisation, physical endurance, extremes and repetition the unexpected may happen, igniting the evolution of an idea or transformation of the self. The point where art or dance begins to move by itself.
Listening to the instinctive truth of the body and senses.
Creating from the inside out.
Dancing and drawing what I cannot see, from learned knowledge and from what I have experienced.
To draw, of course, is different than to dance. In this exhibition I hope to capture the essence of continual movement around us. To expose theatrical figurative presence and an interest in the unknown. To excite possibility and ideas. To honour time for dreaming. To look beyond daily life and awaken our senses to the interconnected universe.
