The Joy of Loss is my investigation of the emotional terrain sculpted through loss, transformation, transcendence and overcoming.
It presents as an audio-visual landscape...not didactic - but an emotional response that is invigilated both physiologically and psychologically.
Sound, image, performance, space, metaphor, language, silence and virtual communities come together to develop a shared emotional understanding of loss and its joyous cathartic qualities.
Loss is but the starting point - the moment of departure. It is in the dealing with loss and the journey that this entails which drives this work. It is that porous membrane of experience, memory, emotion and physicality through which we all must pass.
Almost an initiation, certainly a ritualised experience of what it is to be human.
