New Drawings at Homebase Lab, Berlin


I have started the first of a new series of drawings in my studio here at Homebase Lab. 




My drawing seeks to merge my night time dreaming adventures with my waking hours; encounters, conversations, impressions both visible and invisible from the experience of living communally with 16 other artists here in Berlin. 

The drawing is constantly shifting, like an animated facial expression.  Fellow resident artist Elena Dahl has started to photograph this process for me as the work shifts and changes.  I hope we will create an animation from this collaboration.  

I seem to be pointing to the "Sheep Cafe" a place I visited in a dream last April.

I am working on a new site specific performance in collaboration with Joseph Patricio here at Homebase Lab, Pankow Berlin.  






This new work is devised for only one audience member at a time, and involves a journey, a crossing, an intimate encounter.  During the course of the conversation it is not clear if the stories are real or imagined. The piece aims to take the audience across a threshold into the subterranean world of the unconscious.  




The piece will be shown for the first time during an evening of performances, installations, and encounters this Tuesday 21st May as part of MPA Berlin.  




The performance is for a small audience of only seven people.  Will you be one of the lucky ones?
