As the world grows hard,
images branded behind my eyes
in a constant flow of dread and awe

I yearn for tales, for gathering, for nesting
shedding skin
Hatching

falling into fantasy, furs, prozac, moss
an escape like daphne
monstrous femininity

tales from the space between the heart and the body

Exhibition info

How do you move through a world that makes you uneasy with your body? This unease comes from lingering gazes and uninvited touches, working expectations 24h a day pushed over a 28 day body. A constant internal flow of voices of complaint, making us question ourselves while we need to question who molded this standard we’re trying to fit in.

The works are both an escape of these gendered forms of violence and a reclaiming of the body through the process of metamorphosis. A combination of materials which research tactility alongside softness and imagery that leans into fantasy. This exhibition tries to embody the escapist within me. Inviting the public to fall through the hatch into a space where I’ve gathered and twined together stories both in physical artworks as well as in an artist book, titled ‘Hatching between Two Trees’. In which two essays, prose and images look to translate these feelings and notions of the body and the context it reluctantly moves through.

A key aspect of the exhibition was the collective reading which took place on the fourteenth of March in collaboration with Maria Hardin and Garden Loops. Where we read from texts we have written and texts which inspire us. We invited the public to contribute by reading a small text which is important to them. After which we shared some food and drinks and continued the conversations.
