Next - catching my breath - and loosing it again.

Preparing for a collaborative/conversation/workshop/performance. I have been accepted onto 'DIY 12' in conjunction with The Live Art Development Agency. Working with the performance artist Alexandrina Hemsley at the British Museum and Chelsea Theatre. 'Present Histories' Looking forward to seeing where this experience will take my current practice.

My head is full of you

Removal - Vermilion Hue

'Vermilion Hue' has been removed from the space. 'Chandelier Piece - Reflection Looking In.' It is interesting to see these items initially as props - they are domestic objects - however within is contained an inherent transformative quality that is interesting as a potential to exploit. The use of the Vitrine - at the beginning I came into the space and spent time. I wanted the work to sit 'intelligently'  and have a synergie or cohesion - as if it was meant to be there. It was a large empty void, the existing materials - the glass - the metal structures are obvious and fixed. It suggested the whole was reminiscent of a large empty Vitrine. The reception area a smaller version - one space within another. A giant Vitrine within which people operate and relate. I decided not to fight the materials but extend them into the work. The Vitrine as a metaphor for control or 'containment' of a behaviour. http://juliakeenana...

Fragmentary States

Two forms of life run side by side - the actual and the desired - the desired becomes preponderant consciousness  hovering above the body - so when confronted with that state of the real it is almost overwhelming.
