Ranch Session Residencies Part 2_2022

we anticipated for 2 years this visit in physical time - our Part 2 in 2022

listening

undoing*

we received

we listened again

we observed alchemical changing of light - locations of intensity conjuring unearthly beauty, delights of relics - so often mentioned this year - of time when we could gather, merging past and present*

measured and marked, weaving 

    from this light, colour, sound

some danced, immersed in synched coincidence, in a frequency of a small orchestra of strings

experimenting with rainbow pigments - we re'marked

mapped in memory of the photograph: washed, rained and diluted

we made space for ourselves in this meadowed landscape, small rooms, moments

we played as a kind of resistance**
