Irrepressible Movement - Photo's

Last week my latest exhibition, which is a collaboration with James Johnson-Perkins, opened. Here are the first pictures:
James and I were invited by the artist in residency at Cecil Sharp House to create an installation. Cecil Sharp house is the base for the English Folk Dance and Song Society. The installation makes use of this context. The big squares with 3 rectangles symbolise a movement in English Morris dancing. Further they create a rhythm Throughout the building which reasonates of the music accompanying that same dance. In the staircase James built a big tower of Mega blocks. This tower symbolises a May pole. My lines follow the staircase round the May pole like a dance incorporating the architectural form.
