from day one to 1month later;
I call day 1 the day that Isabelle, an art student and friend, told me about a studio space within a stone scuptor's workshop somewhere outside Salisbury.
First reaction was excitment, followed by a made up list of problems and finally seeing how I was erecting barriers around the idea, only to respond to my fears.
As soon as I realised this, I decided to pay the rent before I could change my mind.
This was followed by two weeks of scraping and cleaning, slowly discovering the space and its potential;5 meters tall, 10 long and 3.5 wide (compared to my 2.5by4m shed at home).
This preparation time has been precious for me to rediscover space with a new body and find adequate movements and tools to reach higher places.
I am currently redefining a perception of my physical and psychological limits.
Limited by space, limited by fear, limited by pain, by the restrictions of my body and mind.
Limited by time, always…
I know now that the work I am willing to explore started on the operation table 6 months ago and as I am moving in the Studio next week, a new phase will begin.
