I see little point now in reflecting upon what might have been post December show. At the time I was happy with the work to date and considering what next. Then Covid happened. At that point I had no real idea where this was going so I started to work with what I was comfortable with, the act of making was enough. This developed into The Frock in the Room and it's here that I start thinking of what might have been. How would this have been experienced as an installation at Gray's as part of a group show? I see a shared space with Angela, we worked well together in December and I enjoyed that time. The space has a fixed ceiling. The experience of fashioning a fabric roof last August was not a good one. Dark and still, the mezzanine again. I always see the installation as having tangled threads on the outside, traces of people, movement. I would be making the work now, a day to finish, self-doubt well embedded. But it stops there. The rest is unclear, a blur of object and projection, then and now. This is the point where what- might- have- been and what-is-now meet. The liminal space where interesting things happen. So what happens next? In person projections? I imagine the work projected onto the shed walls close to here, more layers, new experiences. Or maybe online video. Both? For now, I plan to archive the course in a suitcase.
