‘One Line, Two Times’ draws from a material archive comprising a large collection of notebooks that span approximately thirty years.
These books contain proposals for artworks and performances made and unmade, and my own writing. My voice changes over time: the writing contains evidence of my relationship to my own poor mental health; experiences of an eating disorder, notes from within the artistic making process, as well as a collection of unpublished poems.
How do the changing voices and vocabularies within this material archive live in a 33 year-old body? A body that has 'changed'?
How do the notes, poems and drawings recalibrate when activated?
“To go to the archive is to begin to reverse entropy: it is to animate”
(Marina Warner in ‘Table Of Contents: Memory and Presence, Siobhan Davies Dance, 2014).
I began working with this archive in January 2022 during a two-week residency awarded by Hypha in an empty shop unit at 228 Chingford Mount, London.
