Constructed for both the performance space and stand-alone installation – an amorphic blob whose walls dance and roll in, out, up and down.

The inside of the structure shows a gathering of my fertility processes that have been worked through over the last few years to make a larger-than-life representation of the womb as an abstract idea; a construction made to dance inside and decorated with symbols of a woman’s relationship with conception.

Inside the structure is also theatrical space for the public to engage with creatively so as to heighten their sense of movement. The undulating and curving form ‘physicalises’ the motion inside our skin. As well as its physical effect this piece represents, the space opens up the possibilities of dark and difficult emotional states, the loneliness, panic and despair of infertility, but also invites the public to experience feelings of hope and intimacy.
