TAP & PAT is a transdisciplinary project containing series of textile, drawing and performance works.
Starting from a series of drawings created in 2021, which translate into textile works and performative scores scripting the inner worlds of the performative figures and their relations.
Exploring disorientation, alienation and fragmentation, the choreographic threads of the two performers weave together different jumbles, unfolding meaning in the gaps of our seeing. The piece approaches ideas of manual work, where gestural objects, their ordinary referencing and the fascinations and obsessions of the figures become the landscape of everydayness with an uncanny layer.
The textile pieces are hand woven cloths referencing the domestic , the familiar and the so called naïve, simultaneously erupting from their form- creating layers that camouflage and dribble on to one another. Attempting to evoke a sense of the un-controlled and messy in regards to the usable and decorative. Figures from drawings are then scribbled onto them, partly camouflaging within the mesh of the yarns and partly exhibiting themselves as part of the story of the fabric.
