Fancy - playing with phenomenologies
Marcus Rowlands & Usha Mahenthiralingam 2009 - 2011
Inspired by the song of a five gate - swarm clouds of midgies - the fall of blossoms - the shimmer of light dancing on water - whispering smoke trails... we played with objects and light. Hands-on - embodied - low-tech - we enjoyed the immersion and wonder of the unexpected!

The relationship between the verbal and the non verbal (or beyond verbal) is one close to my heart. I've always enjoyed the freeing and entwined relationship between moving, mark-making and writing...tapping into the spontaneous, the arising, the intuitive, the not yet known and other ways of knowing.
CAP - Creative Articulation Process
In 2020 and 2021 in the midst of lockdown I was granted a mini residency at FABRIC to play with CAP, Creative Articulations Process as part of my own enquiries: Land of Aprons and later open explorations.
CAP was developed by Jane Bacon and Vida Midgelow it shifts between writing/mark-making and moving within 6 facets:
opening, situating, delving, raising, anatomising and out-warding.

Be-ing in-touch - I love how the power of making brings meaning to life - experiences of embodied knowing - skin-kin-kind-kindred.
As I researched the fascinating worlds of skin and touch, I was inspired to support our understanding of facts through making and the felt sense in a process to in-'form' the information.
Facts can simple slid off us - numbers are numbers and it's hard to truly receive such information in a meaning full way.
When I asked our group to guess how much skin we shed in a year in a multiple choice quiz, it was fun, but it was only when we passed a bag of lentils round did we anchor the 'felt sense' knowledge of the 9lbs (4 kgs) we shed in one year.
The patterns at the tips of fingers don't just help us grip but they detect vibration and frequencies...
The towers give us a sense of the 1000 layers of skin we shed in a lifetime...
Each skin print made by the group was displayed not on the walls but scattered on the floor, each one a beautiful work of art in itself simple letting go as nature had intended,
The relationship between nature and our skin was continually reflected back to us, fractals and patterns a-kin.
One lunch time I happened to pick up a leaf, it sat in unison with all our prints, "it makes you realise we are all related" Participant.
