'Soft CLAY // HARD Play' Residency Exhibition 2023

'Falling Between Intensity and Stillness'
Largescale Format Digital Print
150cmx 50cm
Photography in collaboration with Mara Cavalli

This series evolved through the production of a stop-motion film as Artist-in-Residence with Art Arcadia, Derry City, June 2023.

Residency supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Lottery Funding.

This project explores the edges of play and embodied knowledge. It balances intensity and stillness through gravity-driven performances and interactions. The works that emerged positioned clay as a direct source of somatic connection and tapped into the material states of animacy, tacit knowledge and earthing.

More on this series in WORK.


Upcoming Workshop with CCA, Derry/Londonderry.
