8th May 2016
Turner Contemporary Gallery, Margate


This piece was specially created for Margate seafront and presented as part of Looping the Loop Festival. It belongs to a durational strand of my practice that explores the intricacies of identity through a visual and task-based vocabulary. Combining land art and live performance, this day-long piece began by collecting local chalk stones from Margate Sands (near the tidal pool). Weighed down by this baggage, I dragged a large chalk bolder from the beach, all along the seafront promenade, towards Turner Contemporary Gallery, trailing a white chalk line behind me. Upon arrival, the large bolder was smashed against the ground and, in an absurdist fashion, I then began the impossible task of attempting to map all the journeys (large and small) made by me and the passing audience. The piece thus drew a direct link between our geographical transience and our multi-layered sense of identity and belonging.
