Ashes to Ashes performance at CAS 10th Anniversary

Ashes to Ashes; Performance 21st March 2019 St Mary's Church Ashes to Ashes is a performance which was developed following a visit to The Jungle , refugee camp in Calais, during which the camp was devastated by a storm and fire, in 2015. The performance investigates the process of destruction/creation which is inherent to nature and to our life as human on earth. The work sends our gaze beyond the camp, and brings to the surface the global issues of migration and climate change, two forces which are intricately linked. The work is developed as a continuous process where Laurence reproduces the rectangular shape of the 40 shelters which were destroyed on the night of her visit.

Holes, Cracks, Gaps and Loopholes; a Micro-Residency at The Observatory(SPUD) , Mottisfont Abbey

supported by TVAF How the ‘French Artist’ fits in the local cultural and social landscape at Mottisfont. By Laurence Dube- Rushby Dates : 25 th /26 th I spent two days within the Observatory space at Mottisfont Abbey, investigating Loopholes, gaps and cracks within the architecture of the Abbey, the landscape and the building of the Observatory. I set out to highlight cracks and holes with natural elements such as coloured wool, pigments, fabrics or clay (as temporary non damaging installations). I also used my own body (as “the French Artist Character”) and invited the public to use theirs to create shapes as individuals or groups to investigate these gaps and the ‘space between things’. I proposed to use the architecture and garden as a metaphor for the wider social context, exploring how artists use ‘ cracks holes and loopholes’ , to find their way into systems which they navigate, investigate and transform through their unique artistic vision.
