A large scale installation which fully occupied the gallery, it performed aspects of the preceding journey, referencing underlying processes and re-contextualised, reconfigured products in doing so. Through the positioning of key pieces of furniture, completed and partially completed Visual art works, texts and raw materials it critiqued and performed the positions and voices of self as artist, researcher and educator whilst simultaneously inviting audience participation and co-creation.

- Description: Group Exhibition- 14th July -25th July Video Installation This investigation continued my exploration of performance art. It involved the use of digital and voice recording to perform and share aspects of the artistic process and research voice. It involved video capture of the remaking of No/w/here? which was then edited and an audio recording layered on top. The outcome was then uploaded to a small screen device which was mounted in the gallery, alongside the work of others.

- Description: This project is concerned with exploring a particular cluster of ideas and stories concerning Homecoming, most notably the presence of the Woman Who Waits for the traveller to return. Underlying the storied aspects of the visual work are the deeper intentions of soulfulness, personal therapy and social interaction. Although profoundly autobiographical, the metaphoric images I have produced are not only a means to touch others but are inclusive of a broader experience than simply my own. Throughout the following exegesis I draw on the disciplines of psychology, sociology, mythology and history, to explore the metaphoric presences of the deities Hestia and Hermes and their relationship to ideas of Home and Not - Home. Particular qualities associated with Home may, for the traveller, become symbolically embodied within the figure of The Woman Who Waits. This simple perception of The Woman Who Waits, and the process of waiting for the traveller to return was explored and expanded through autobiographic art practice combined with visual and theoretical research. Throughout the project the expression of emotive autobiographic issues through the running use of metaphor has been combined with increasing technical control and subtlety along with sustained explorations of spatial and compositional dynamics.
