Discursive and practical apparatuses, both drawing on the other in the act of agency.
The defining point of agency is namely its potential to transform the given.

Beams and Netting: Negotiations in the chamber, Hyde Abbey Gatehouse, Winchester.
Clay, hessian, drawings and transparencies, drawing frame, antique glass, lead and nylon lines.
‘Leylines’ has been appropriated and employed as both a practical and as a conceptual strategy to inquiry into places and localities. Site visits and sensitive dialogues with the other artists at a number of locations have further brought materials and processes into the creative realm. The spatial practice of setting-up this work has produced a social narrative of its own invention.
This intervention into a listed building has become a temporary refuge for a work in progress. The work attempts to show a creative agency as it encounters a host of installed hierarchies and conditions. The architectural motif on the drawings has been derived directly from the open apertures of the chamber.
