Unwritten Places

By  Tony Humbleyard 2025 - 2026

Unwritten places

Placing sculpted bowls in the landscape. Invoking  imaginal/ performative spaces, an embodied connection to place. Unwritten places where the Archetypal stories still hold sway.

Using long exposure photography, binaural recordings and video. A process of walking/deep listening an immersive practice, creating temporary spaces for dance, for spoken word, music, performance art inviting others into these liminal spaces to collaborate….

  • ‘Soften the focus of your eyes, allowing colour, shape, movement to dance their own patterns

Conjuring clouds/

On the Archipelago of forgetting/

The drought comes quietly/

the browning of a leaf/

an empty bog pool.

A transgression of Hungry Ghosts/

their rootless minds/

unsettling the territory.
