I arrived at the residency with a small roll of cane, a roll of paper and an inkling about exploring the shape of human life. Not the shape of a body but the shape of an overall life. Through my recent experience of death and birth in my family, I had a sense that life begins tightly wound and potent, expands into spaciousness and then distils, and condenses down again. These potent ends and beginnings of life, though anchored in time, are not bound by it, they unfold at their own pace. Hence the forms I created during the residency.
