statement
As we find ourselves ever more immersed in non-physical spaces my practice engages with habitual daily gestures, moving toward dance, ritual and presence. This work sits at the juncture between human relationships to culture and the demarking of movement to record event. I am inquiring how the body can function as a primary instrument of mapping and through drawing embody non-material experience. I take inspiration from the sciences including neurological studies pertaining to extra sensory perception and cultural anthropology. Cartography and choreographic models are explored as a means to translate change into structure. Durational and sited works, like my drawings, examine "place" through changing conditions and seek resonance between medicinal and aesthetic practice. If the impact of daily activity can be perceived in new ways then perhaps we can begin to conceive of more holistic social architectures
