Click here for an overview of Day 7. LB: Another performance and more conversations: Harry performed again, interacting with the red knitting installation, this time with a different red knitted sculpture that he hadn't seen before. This piece, Heart of darkness, has a very different form to the sculpture he wore yesterday. Body cocoon 3; it has many holes in it and it's technically unfinished so that the knitting is unravelling. This meant that it became entangled in the hanging forms almost straight away, making them move as the shrouded form moved, but it also meant that they also began to unravel. Click here for a video of excerpts of this performance. Again, after the performance, there were clear marks of Harry's actions in the tangled threads: Today we were able to discuss the performance straight afterwards, so it felt that we were able to capture our instinctive reactions to the process. For me, it was quite wonderful that at least one person has been able to interact physically with my work. To be able to work spontaneously and intuitively with an experienced performance artist has been a great privilege. It has certainly given me ideas for performance for future work. Many thanks for the collaboration, Harry! LB: Arranging and rearranging body parts: Parts of me is a growing series of body parts - steel bodies and feet cast in concrete, plaster and Jesmonite - some of which I installed for the Interim Bath Spa MA Degree Show in September 2021, as assemblages, with my knitted Body cocoons. Since then I have cast more feet (in concrete), made another steel body and finished two more Body cocoons. Real Space provides enough physical space to trial different ways to assemble them.
