    I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin nation as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live, work, and create. I pay respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging. Always was, Always will be Aboriginal Land. 
    Time Under Tension → Nov ‘24

    (Un)Tethered at the Victorian College of the Arts,  November 2024

    Used for many different purposes in all cultures around the world, rope is a dynamic material that lends itself to explorations in complex human relationships. Ropes are strong and tough, as well as soft and gentle. They support weight, connect things, and hold things in place, but also move freely, and help other objects to be moved. A sensitive and dynamic material, rope might also act like a conductor between people, intensifying relational physicalities and responsibilities to one another, which require deep bodily listening and trust. The term, time under tension, refers to the amount of time a muscle is held under resistance during physical training. This piece is a study of time under tension - rope and duration - dancers and watchers; the body and attention.
