HOLLOW

Stanza 1

Do we 

stand at the edge 

   of days?

Do we?

Do we?

While A PECULIAR SHADE OF BLUE is set to work through earth-engaged performance, HOLLOW is the only stanza set within an entirely human-made environment devoid of any natural connection.

 

Stanza 1 explores the surface layer of how we, as a western culture, present and deal with grief, which is, for the most part, to pack it away and limit expression.

 

Dedicate to where grief is actively suppressed, HOLLOW journeys into that state of being where those tensions create polarisation, shifting between internalised sorrow and the veneer of held expression, this stanza explores how isolation impacts our state of mind.

HOLLOW is - as all stanzas are - complex and holds many layers. It looks to issues of disconnection, and how this in turn effects our experience as human beings through the journey of grief, and how, over time, the disconnect environment contributes further to that state of separation in an ever depleting spiral.
