Between Thursday 22 July and Sunday 9 August 2020, I will be spending each Thursday - Sunday from midday until 5pm working on a residency at ANCA. And on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you can come and see what I am up to. Bookings are necessary, due to COVID restrictions - see link below.
A dilletante, a dabbler. Inch deep, mile wide, flittering from distraction to distraction. When you can’t see the through-lines and threads in your meanderings, when it is all tangents and no centre. When everything seems disparate and disconnected, how do you recognise the patterns of your preoccupation? How to put the bits together and make something of substance?
‘Dilletante’ is derived from the Latin ‘to take delight’. In this process-based residency, I will apply and reflect on tactics which have proved fruitful in my creative practice so far. As a multidisciplinary artist working with material, text, image and performance, this will involve reading, writing, speaking and moving as I combine seemingly disparate elements and reflecting on each day’s process. Poetic concepts from Jane Hirschfield’s ‘Ten Windows’ will provide touchstones to shape and test each day’s investigation. Raw material includes writing produced over the past two years, and experimental video sequences created in recent months.
While this will be a private residency, there will be a opportunities for interested people to visit and engage with work in progress on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Maximum 10 people per session, free to attend, bookings required. CLICK HERE TO BOOK
