'Remembrance'- Mapping Bones 5

'Remembrance'- Mapping Bones 5 was a drawing performance work performed at 'Draw To Perform' day of performances and workshops at Exeter Street Hall, Brighton, UK on 27th October 2019. The performance also involved a collaboration with musicians Ade Southey and Al Strachan improvising to respond to the drawing. The drawing performance is also in remembrance of my friend and dance tag-team of twenty-years who tragically passed away in August 2019. The poem was written following this tragedy: Remembrance Remembrance, An embrace of a memory. A gilt-handled casket, Or golden urn. It’s not bones we bury or burn. Remembrance, The tug-of-war tween birth and death, A snapped umbilical Unwound, undone, tied and re-hung. Remembrance The final drawing - marker pen on perspex is for sale.

This drawing was created live over four days through August 2012 and is part of an ongoing series titled 'Limits'. begun in 2011 at the Folkestone Triennial Fringe Festival. The process was to stand on the paper and draw using both feet, overall the drawing took around 12 hours. The fun part was meeting the locals in the hustle and bustle of the market nearby and in some cases creating portraits of them as they looked down at the work. The work was video documented.
