Parchments (2019)

Installation-Performance | Variable Duration


Parchments (functional apparatus) is an assemblage of three painted scores (black Japanese ink on 300gsm cream cartridge, 29.7 x 42.0cm), layered in eight different configurations and backlit by LED. The work draws conceptually on histories of tattooing, of mark-making, vellum inscription and trace, and explores the idea of layers of memories and wisdom(s) held in the 'skin' - of bodies, of instruments, of buildings, of communities.


How do we hold the memories of the things that have touched us? What does it mean to touch and sound?


The work can be explored by 1 - 3 movers or instrumentalists in an improvisation capacity.


All eight panels should be utilised in performance. Performance should be between 10 and 30 minutes long.


Scores can either be printed,โ€ฆ
