Working life tensions
Developed during an artist in residency program with WASPS, The Steeple, Fife, Scotland and in conjunction with a grant and associated support from performanceNOW, Generator Projects and Verdant Works, Dundee, Scotland, UK. This performance work was instigated by the artist to allow participants to create their own pathways and obstacles using jute twine. The performance evolves as the participants keep moving around the designated area until their twine runs out, with participants twine becoming tangled and more difficult to navigate as they continue to move.
