A woman,

A white wall,

A paintbrush,

Breath,

Light,

Sound,

Breath becomes sound, movement becomes mark.

Artists and poets have long thought about the Moon‘s influence on living creatures, and in particular, on women’s cycles. 

 

A Conversation Between Me and the mOOn emerged as an extract from  A Tree Without Leaves, as I aimed to investigate my personal internal landscape, making visible the invisible. I began to incorporate my longtime interest in mark making as an abstract way of expressing movement, thoughts and feelings.

A Conversation Between Me and the mOOn has been performed at Chisenhale Dance Space, Draw to Perform and Moving Pieces.
