Letter to the Audience of Chasing Mirrors : Portraits of the Unseen*
I want you to find a space with this space that reflects back something you are but weren’t aware of. To catch your eye in a hidden corner and find a moment of illumination. To drop fixed perceptions of others, of those who gave to this work, and see them anew. As one human being to another. To allow colour, light and three dimensional form to permeate your being and whisper in your ear and heart. To know there is no separation between us and that we are all in this together. To learn the feeling of the journey that has been taken by these individuals to become who they are, right now, here. To know we are all on this journey and that it never ends.
*A format learned on a performance Lab ‘Lore and other convrgences with the artists Janine Antoni + Melissa Martin in 2006, in London. Supported by the Live art Development Agency and INIVA
