Vocal Vortex

Vocal Vortex, a site-specific installation, was woven in the nearby forest on chateau’s grounds during the Chateau d’Orquevaux Artist residency

Having started my research on vortexes, spaces of power with and without, I wanted to really get into the spirit of the spider, that weaves up a space that is beneficial.

So, once the residency started I began weaving a web of blue yarn because I knew it was time to clear out my throat, to speak up.

Since 2015 I ve been working as a Supporting Actress, taken on acting classes, and signed up with an agency in 2018. It was important for me to begin implementing more of my ‘bodily presence’ into my work. Last time I did a performance at Zabludowicz Collection, I was silent.

This piece combined:

- research into spirals/vortexes as well as chakra systems;

- performance study and work experience

- my fashion label study and experience > weaving

-my love for recycling

Watch my performance below. Was super scary. The installation remains in the forest for all to use. Forest hearing your throat clearing purifies its energies.
