Melting / Mourning

Melting / Mourning is an adaptable work for gallery or raw site that includes a looping 4-channel video installation, sculpture and live performance. Created from choreographic research conducted as part of The Arctic Circle Residency (2017) in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, this work explores the effort of the body in shifting spaces of loss.
