Farmers Gate Frustration
This project involves a series of performative gestures to camera that explore the impact of the Northern Irish geographical and political landscape upon my body. The five-bar gate is a structural barrier embedded in the landscape which I use conceptually to represent certain divisive traditions and attitudes in Northern Ireland that I find myself struggling against. Each performance involves durational actions that test the fragility and yet resilience of my body. Repeated iterations of the actions have created diversity in the shapes and forms produced whilst transitioning from one movement to another – constantly thinking of where to place my hand or foot and sensing how much pressure is necessary and recognizing the failure to remain connected.
