LET IT COME
DOWN

B—Moitessier


PERFORMANCE


During the exhibition, Tee will engage with the works through readings and performance. The readings will be selected from a collection of poems and novels curated with poet Jane Lewty, all of which focus on either personal, spiritual, physical or political forms of resistance. Many of the texts evoke a particular colour, either as motif or topic, to imply the ways in which colour can symbolize actions and emotions connected with resistance. At unannounced intervals throughout the day visitors are invited to recline onto the floorpieces to listen to readings, opening a dialoque between the shared physical space and and the imaginary, drawing into the exhibition environment ‘The Soul In Limbo’: an in-between state on the border between the here and the possible’.

LET IT COME DOWN

2017
Camden Arts Centre
London, UK

Let It Come Down alludes to events outside of personal control that weigh on the artist’s everyday life and thought processes.The response is to resist, on a personal, physical and spiritual level.
Three crystalline hand-knitted textiles unfold onto the floor. Ceramic ‘resist shapes’, created through a process of forming clay over the top of a mould, punctuate the installation. Specifying colours for their allegorical properties, Tee is meticulous in the chemical processes involved in production – the dyes of the yarns, ceramic glazes and the drying conditions of the collaged petals. Visitors are invited to listen to readings in the gallery space amongst the works.
