Flowers stemmed from a Kosmoss curatorial project with an artist I greatly admire - Teddy May de Kock. It evolved into a collaboration thanks to Jerwood 1:1 funding and support from Bow Arts who lent us a project space In Lakeside Centre, Thamesmead. 

​

Over the winter of 2022 Teddy May and I worked on the project, resulting in an hour long performance piece which we showed at Lakeside Centre in late February 2022. 

​

We have been interested in that aspect of flowers that is expressed in the above quote from Witkacy - ease, being natural, which currently sounds at least complicated, if not laughable or even impossible. We decided to practice being together and talking to each other - about everything, and in that vain, our performance was woven from a mix of improvisation and structure, having as an aim contemplation of flowers and searching for a way to become one.

​

The project is ongoing.
