practicing close to nothing

​"I am reminded of women in portrait paintings. Figures of grace but somehow much energy is contained in the stillness of your presence." Katye Coe & Frank Bock
​Practicing doing close to nothing. Exploring a heightened state of presence, consciousness in the here and now, whilst experiencing time passing. A durational performance installation of object and body.

Materials: Silk, cotton, female body, breath, stillness, light

As part of a wider practice-research project investigating the female body, textile and experience in installation.
