A SEAT AT THE TABLE
Take a seat and watch. Take a seat and listen. Think about your life and where you are. How did you get there? Did you get any help? Did you realise you even got any help? Do you feel comfortable? How lucky you are to feel comfortable in this space. Many don’t. Many things are messy. But some things shouldn’t be.

TENDER-HANDED
Live Performance at 7pm
Voices echo through the enamel, bodies slip down the drain.
Let me hold you, tender-handed, let this soft stinging glass plant make red rashing bubbles of my skin and not yours. Let me love you like this.
this is an unfinished part of me that I’m actually not ready to share yet
The mirror has steamed up; I can only see myself as you do.
Let the weeds blister our palms with their honesty.
In this room,
I am more a swan than a boy.

CELEBRATION?
blood within video
Celebrations, swirling around my existence, elicit profound unease, a visceral turbulence that engulfs my core, propelling me into a relentless cycle. Oscillating between the inclination to dismantle these jubilant affairs and the subsequent yearning to reconstruct them, it is a paradoxical pursuit in the quest for a semblance of normalcy.

REORDERING THE
WARP AND WEFT
This is not an end point, but a pause in an observational exploration. A singular happening in a cycle of the repurposed and regrown. A correlation of reactions transforming the liminal. This is a practiced place, embodied by the deadstock, disrupting the linear - until the cycle continues again.

EROSION
loud and overlapping sounds, dark space
Suspended from a large cube constructed from PVC piping, are a series of photographs depicting the process of erosion between domestic objects and water. The rigid PVC structure is wrapped in translucent tarpaulin and sits on top of more, thick dark green tarpaulin. Beneath the images in the centre of the cube, is a torn and sodden carboard box, collapsed after being subject to heavy artificial rainfall. Inside the box are the soggy remains of bath bombs, flowers, books and more. The messiness and distortion of the items inside the cube contrast wildly with the industrial structure that surround them. The cube is cast in saturated beams of light in an otherwise low-lit area. The space is filled with the sound of low, heavy crackling, accompanied by assorted foley samples which have been manipulated into rhythmic motifs. Mimicking the process of erosion, the sound degrades over the course of 10 minutes. The slowly transforming lighting state reflects this, making tangible the temporal nature of erosion.

SYMBIOSIS
Symbiosis is the documentation of a durational performance/installation; Which intended to explore the mess and fragility of cohabitation through human relationships.
This concept was explored by inhabiting the working space, over the residency period. Gathering multi- media documentation; which has then been used, as the building blocks, to curating the final instillation.
whilst mess was essentially banned in our working space, we absolutely did find a rebellious way to create a neat one. Please enjoy.

IMPRINT
tattoo, needles
Imprint ink from skin. Imprint the skin with ink.
I am an innately messy person - not in a cute quirky kind of mess way, but in an undesirable, grotesque way. Through ink prints of my skin, I am taking an imprint of this. Processing and reprocessing, imprinting and re-imprinting, I work to transform my mess into something aesthetic, interesting and desirable which is transferred onto the skin of fruit.
(Whilst it looks pretty for now, be sure it too will rot)

TETHERS
A ‘Rat King’ occurs when a collection of rats become entwined together by their own tails, excrement, or hair. Their high population number and lack of living space force them together in such a way seals their fate as they try to escape and ultimately tighten the knot that will kill them.
‘Tethers’ examines this phenomenon through a lens of class, policy, and the inherent prejudices against those who feel the effects of political “confinement”.

This is an interactive art piece.
An exploration of bodies, connectedness, and mess. As beings we leave our markings on one another through time and interaction, which manifest themselves in a plethora of invisible ways. Make the unseen seen, let the markings show
As an audience we invite you to move, sway, dance, and groove in front of the projection. Notice how the light and colour react to your form. Please feel welcome to document these interactions and tag @mutate.co on social media.

THE BOAF (Birth of a Feeling)
interactive, dark small space
The B.o.A.F. aims to unite one with their core foundation - senses of perception - individual truth outside of the enforced through sonic guidance, arousing feelings that ask to be heard. It is a tenderly crafted space that exposes one to softly and safely submerge into guiding oneself through prevalent matters.

WE END WHERE WE BEGIN
Live Performance at 7:30pm
Our life begins with one breath and ends in one breath
Our life is a cycle.
We strive to pursue a legacy of wealth and fame
But what is the real legacy we leave?
Art is the most authentic evidence of human existence.
It’s found in the photographs of your first birthday to the last sound of your voice circling a room.
Living materials of our life surround us everywhere.
Eleanor Louise Brown
in collaboration with Erica Li-Wu and added score by Lucas Brown
I sense a quiet atmosphere surrounded by the sound of nature. I imagined a pond in the middle of a forest, at night, secretly and mysteriously, a space to represent the true self. It is a place full of security and comfort, nothing to worry about, as we are yet born or have left life.
This painting is inspired by a song called “The Swan” by the carnival of animals.
Drawn by Erica Li Wu, a 2nd year BA student studying Design for Performance in Central school of Speech and Drama.
NOT LESS REAL
what do dreams mean to you? get cosy, feel warm and hear how others sleep.

EARTH’S PIGMENT
Earth Pigment is an art piece transformation of rocks from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea cliff side to turn into a powdered pigmentation used for painting. My painting is a visual representation of where I collected the materials from to create this artwork. (Newbiggin-by-the-Sea)
