Social Experiments; A Woman With a Cup the Wrong Way Up, 2021-22
A site-specific temporary installation made during a year-long residency at SET Woolwich, and installed in the foyer of its old Greenwich council & HMRC building on Beresford Street, South East London. The work includes a number of filmed performance elements some made with Marta Valverde, and a related thread called Training Day. A 20min video work was filmed in the installation and shown at SET in a group show of the Free Studio Prize winners in September 2022. With thanks to Leah Valverde and SET Woolwich.
