Closing scene, Disembodied Voices

I've uploaded a video of the closing scene of Disembodied Voices from my Platform One Gallery performance on the opening night last autumn. You can watch it on YouTube.
Many thanks to Talitha who filmed it!

CAMP show, Old Street - during the day

London i: Rice installation





Crochet drawing of Old Street: I crocheted the streets of the East End as far as Canary Wharf (the big loop in the bottom right corner) and drew the crochet... which pulled and twisted the streets in various directions. Old Street is in the top left corner (honest!)
The materials reflect the origins of the space and the area. The rice in the installation piece alludes to the former Chinese restaurant where the CAMP bar now is (and the Vietnamese restaurants in the area), while the crochet refers to the big textile industry in Shoreditch in the 17th century.
This is the original crochet:

Here are some images of the CAMP show... me creating the London rice installation on Wednesday night and the private view last Thursday.

Botanists of the Asphalt (Part II) @ Old Street - Private View Thu 4 Feb!

I am in a group show that opens next Thursday, 4 February, from 6.30 til 9.30. It's in a new chilled bar off Old Street (The City Arts & Music Project, known as CAMP).

Don't despair if you miss the opening, the exhibition runs until 26 February. The bar is open every day from 11am until late apart from Sunday (closed all day).

I'm not doing a performance this time but an installation and a drawing.

Disembodied Voices, Platform One Gallery

Tonight is my last performance at Platform One Gallery at Wandsworth Common station (at 6pm). I've had a good turnout every night, except Wednesday when no one turned up apart from a commuter and I scared him away oops. At least I got a chance to film.

So in case you were wondering what this is all about: Disembodied Voices is a theatrical performance without actors in the traditional sense. It features light and sound - a radio play by Harold Pinter and James Clarke. Each voice is represented by a different light. I designed the lighting and act as a kind of facilitator (although I feel like the executioner in some scenes). I drive the action forward by moving around the space and operating the lights. At Platform One, the audience stood in the theatrical space i.e. on stage and became part of the performance - unwittingly they became the actors.

Solo show at Platform One Gallery !

Solo show at Platform One Gallery !

The dates of my first solo show have been confirmed - it opens on Tuesday 27 October and runs until Saturday, 31 October. It will take the form of scheduled evening performances.
I met Merlin Fulcher, who runs Platform One Gallery in the former waiting room at Wandsworth Common rail station, when he saw my Voices performance at the final degree show in Camberwell. He agreed to host it at Platform One which I think is perfect for my performance. How exciting!
