From The Golden Treasury of Natural History by Bertha Harris
This work is exploring performance, narrative, mimicry, the power of thought….sort of. Recently I have done a number of acting courses and this has fed into my work and thinking. The processes and methods I have learnt and worked with are complimentary to existing working methods and they had directly opened up potentials for new visual work…
I took a book which was found on a stair. Dusty cover of a golden treasury, I began to emulate the drawings of natural history. I began with the dinosaurs…..
Appropriation of illustration….performance and all its potentials….what is the information in the visual image? How are we to read and understand it….would anyone know I were a Diplodocus if I had not been titled?…..
