…a fleeting adherence to trees
in collaboration with the ceramicist Sandy Layton
Layered image and writing 2021
Experiments with the projection of ceramic sculpture onto trees and grass, writing in response, mixing our lines, our media and our intentions.
Wood catching light or light catching wood?
Knotted holes in trees
An appropriation of surface for other means
Punctured surfaces
Bandages binding
illuminating the textures and contours of a body.
Eerie lurking shadow forms
Human cracks and crevices emerge from clay and bark
Engulfing blackness
Dragging attention to unknowing
Severed by a dark shadow
The computer grapples with what it sees and offers alt text:
Blood red descending
A picture containing dark, a hand holding a turtle
Haunting black shadows
In the night the infra-red detects ceramic creatures hiding between the branches
Hollow empty eye socket
Liberated objects flying free
And merging with the messy earth.
Pointed toothless jaw
It is only a fleeting adherence to trees
