Crossing a Continent
Performing space, time, people
The plain map of Australia and the journey to be taken.
For safety I would send an image to my destination point, Rebecca Cunningham in Brisbane
who would know where I was and that I was still alive.
who would know where I was and that I was still alive.
As part of one of the structures I gave myself I would collect samples of the earth
to mark location, to experience the colour of the land, to employ in the performance
to experience land.
This collection of colour generates this image of bands of change - heading west to east
we see what Australia starts to look like as pure hues.

Mapping Space, Time and Place - A Locational Praxis:
I am interested in the apparent need of having to locate myself / It seems to be an instinct need to reference where I am, where I have been, where I am going,
We map perpetually securing ourselves in space, weather that be the physical and geographical or the metaphysical and psychological.
Within performance systems and especially for this residency I had to map a 7000km journey through one of the worlds most arid and isolated landscapes.
Employing this map that physically took me from Perth to Brisbane, I laid this locational and directional structure on to and into the space I was arriving into -
Generating shape in space / isolating points of focus directly to the reality of performance taken from the immediacy of a journey taken.
The shape, the structure becomes a writing system for me . . . it is a score in space that I am able to construct a sequence of actions that matter, in relationship to real space, translated into performance reality / The score of location hints at composition and references the rhythms that can be located within the structure and pattern of the work.
If you have a map you have a structure if you have a structure you have a pattern and with this you are able to 'play' within the known systems -
If you get lost you can always come back to the structure and locate yourself back in performance reality.
