Embodies of Arboreal Time (2021)
…slipping times and fleshes…
Going deeper still
The energy is viscous
I enter your time
Together we slip time
I feel all flooshie and slippy
I’m folding into you, or maybe fluiding
We portal into each other
This piece is about finding sanctuary and solace by re-weaving into our ecology, it’s about slipping out of our restraining human chronocentrism and into more-than-human time, in this case the slowth of arboreal (tree) time. The images are comprised of interwoven photogrammetry scans of my own body and the body of a 2000 year old ancient yew (London’s oldest living thing). As viewers peer into the mirrors, their likeness portals into ours.
