BODY ARCANA @ FACT GALLERY

arcana
ɑːˈkeɪnə/Submit



noun
1. secrets or mysteries.
​

‘Body Arcana’ is a series of large scale drawings created with my body and oil bars on paper. 

Loosely inspired by Heather Hansen's "Emptied Gestures' series and by the belief that ‘the body holds our entire life experience,’ each drawing begins with the question “if my body could speak, what would it say?” This question acts as a springboard for the discovery of current life lessons and resources that the body holds through movement. Each discovery is then symbolically recorded on paper.

Coming home to self (2)

"You are a song. Let go, pull in, (re)discover, honour, commune..."

An exploration of what it means to come home to yourself.
This performance was followed by a workshop through which participants  explored self care through movement, drawing and writing.
