A Linear Language: aerial movement and drawing
This project included collaborative work between artist Hazel Cardew (UK) and aerialist and artist Emily Aoibheann, which began remotely in January 2022. Through creative exchange ranging from dialogue to shared studio practice, the collaboration explored drawing as instruction in aerial movement, and vice-versa, as the artists moved between instruction and interpretation. Informed by dance notation and graphic scoring, and inspired by ideas of emergence, intention, and artist authority, this collaboration pushed the boundaries of Cardew's project with exciting results.
