in our muddy bodies

2023-24

(paper prints, text, ceramic vessels, soil samples)

This work collects materials from recently facilitated “muddy workshops”, to challenge how participatory, embodied encounters can be documented after the fact as artwork, as a counter to traditional evidence-based conventions. Paper ground sheets and vessels hold muddy traces of participants; patterns—bodily prints—spillages—textures—mixtures. Here, their verticality invokes geological time, while a reflective text reinvigorates the physical traces, recalling sounding actions.
