In Memory of Balloon Girl : Phase II


Editing of the film work is well under way and I am very excited about it. My approach to making this work is similar to how I approach making a drawing or painting. It feels very expressive and I’m excited to be moving away from the standard performance document. One of my favorite artists is Pipilotti Wrist, her approach to creating beautiful film pieces and using video, as a way of making subversive installations is a big influence for me. It is important to me that I communicate to the viewer my experiences of jumping, flying and falling.

Helen and Zoƫ, my graphic designers, who also worked on the Craig Y Nos publication, have been busy working on the new publication. This work features a commissioned written response to the performance by Briony Goffin. I am so pleased with the writing and cant wait to share it with people. Again, this document will aid my expression of my experiences of the performance.
