The Practice (IV)
The Practice (IV). 2023. In collaboration with Den Zenin.
"...Go then...trust your happiness to the winds..."
"...this is my old self ... and this old self is dead"
- Den Zenin
- The soul, or whatever you want to call it, longs to be transformed, from a being parasitised by deadliness, into one that is truly alive.
- The teenager in us, between two worlds, sleeps among the ashes, transforms*.
- This work, with and for my friend Den, going through his own transformation.
*nb this idea is borrowed from somewhere: that there is a tradition where the teenage boys are left to sleep among the ashes, somewhere between death and life, like a chrysalis.
