Solo work
Commissioned as part of Isolated at JW3, Weighting Place was a site-specific participatory show experienced over headphones, where participants were encouraged to place (or 'plant') a stone in JW3's external plaza.
Placing a stone is a Jewish mourning ritual - you place a stone on a grave as a mark of remembrance and respect. Weighting Place was designed as a mourning ritual for Covid, allowing participants the time and space to think about grief, love and loss.
I wanted to reflect the sense that the studio, like a pre-loved home, had had many lives already. In bringing my own objects into the space, I superimposed my image of home onto its existing architectural features, which have had other uses in the past. Belonging(s) was an incessant cycle of making, unmaking and moving, which grew steadily more chaotic.
