Holding on to Words to Hold What We Can't Say
Leaving Space For The Intangible

Now that we’re a few weeks into term, there have been more conversations happening in the studios about what the work we make is about, and I’ve been finding it difficult to articulate my current ideas. I’ve come to realise that the idea of articulation itself is actually integral to the work I’m experimenting with. Exploring ideas about transition, experience and intuition, I am attempting to hold these lightly enough, that I let space for definitions and connections to occur. If I already knew how to precisely and eloquently link and verbalise the thoughts in my head, and experiences in my body, I would; but the reality is I have to trust my instinct to allow words, images and objects their own space to emerge and form meaning. I do not want to rush in and find meaning, for the sake of other.
