As we walk up to a pre-project swim at Potter Tarn Paul and I rehearse the list of tarns/lakes we plan to swim in the ‘Swimcircle’ project. I begin to learn them by heart and together with the image ‘Swimcirclemap’, create a place in my mind to which all the disparate talks, ideas, and images can begin to move. They start to assemble there and jockey for position.
The pieces of performance art – ‘Swim Home’ and ‘Full circle2’ from last year are still finding their place in my mental landscape. The hope is that somehow this new project will integrate them and become a fresh creation. The future is always unknown but somehow lodged in this coming project the ‘unknownness’ of the future now feels paradoxically tangible.
