Sonorous Stones Jamboree Workshop

'in the midst of her elemental composition' was exhibited as part of Jerwood Staging Series, 2019.

At the point where the body and the rock meet, where the corporeal and the lithic intertwine, this thin space is where it can be found. 
A proposition by way of words, written and translated from Michel Serres, became a starting point, a space in which to explore the connection between the human and the lithic, between my body and its geological heritage in the Outer Hebrides. Dislocated from this place by a jolt in my maternal lineage, I have lost the tongue to communicate with this more than human body. For Jerwood Staging 2019 I returned to this isle of strangers, Na h-Eileanan an Iar and its body of rock that still possesses me.

'in the midst of her elemental composition'

an t-oidhche (at night)was commissioned at part of Yellow Back Books: Shorts for Montez Press radio. It speaks of restless nights and limbs that wander in to the night, without a body.

Best listened to with headphones in the dark.
