mappings
a trilogy of live and installation based works, mappings explores changes in state of an amorphous body, conceived as one choreography stretched over time and three sites. In this body of work time is used as a material, a counterbalance to movement, a force of friction and fluidity to form. Departing from resistant and glacial forms in 1 (PITCH), 2 (AERIAL) moves to a lower viscosity, a state between solid and liquid, concluding in 3 (OXIORCAD) a transitional state between liquid and vapour.
