During a two weeks residency with the dancer, performance and textile artist Miriam Rose Gronwald at ODRADEK OFF in Brussels I painted live for the first time. This series was made during our performances, in which I translated her movements onto paper.
“I really appreciate when the head is not in the picture” a visitor said.
When dancing our body leads us and we follow our feelings.
Melody
You wrote this letter into the room I read your body like a moon
From hand to foot (left) Des yeux à la main (right)
My body and me finding our song
Dear feet
Welcome home
Thoughts settle, like water into sand and answers are there like the smell of rain in the air
Sometimes time carries you away and everything becomes one octopus day
Two persons walking
Expanding gently
Sunlight, light years
A letter from the core
If a spirit (a person, thing or tree) came to sign this moment this is what it’d be
When a dream carries you into the day, when the air smells of summer rain, when you meet a friend in the street, and life takes you by the hand, to dance
