In the Performance; ‘Colour and Form,’ the painting process comes to life. Through the use of personification, myself and Hayley @hayley_d._pearce represented the elements of painting; colour and form. Accompanied by @brightmanalice hypnotic harp playing, we interacted upon the page. The choreography was a flurry of improvisation that reflected the freedom of expression. Our senses were flooded with new information, we moved instinctively, responding to one another. Exploring the concept of ‘painting’ feeding itself. 

Among the outbursts of movement came ‘The Stills.’ The photographs  Ana took @feverish_photography are perhaps the most important conceptual element in the attempt of the process becoming the only physical outcome. The stillness/ freezeframes represent the contemplation that is a necessary part of the painting process. Artists have a tendency to stand back from the artwork and view it from another perspective or to leave the work for a few days before returning to it with fresh eyes. In the act of creation there is always a need for stillness.

The visual experience, continuously shifting between harmony and tension. Each member of the audience participated in making the outcome have infinite possibilities. Even though the experience was shared, each individual will remember the performance slightly differently, depending on a multitude of dependencies. Other than the physical photographs to look back on, the performance will live on inside the memories of the audience’s individual altered reality dependent on their imagination that fills in the blanks as time progresses and the memory fades.
