LOCALITY AND DISTANCE

Near past notebooks:


A state of being ill at ease occurs with the specialisation and hence locking in of body-parts that become dense in their autonomy and hence unable to carry the burden.

Health involves the mutability between body-parts. The burden is shifted and there is a concertina affect and consequent expansion of focus. The centre of gravity that draws any one motion is bandied back and forth like a game of bat and ball.

The resonant inner shape is ferried to different regions whatever the outward dwelling may seem to suggest. For each action there is a constant give and take. A falling and holding. A going through boundaries and a containment of boundaries. This defines the ever-changing contours that both support a posture, organ function or emotion and yet let it breath and live by opening up ever-changing channels of movement. The sealing of one vault incurs the opening of another- like the chambers of the heart. Affectivity is summoned through this intensification which has the effect of closure and dissipation and the simultaneous affect of an opening. Timing is everything.

The mutability of body parts is the same for walking, the holographic pattern in the lumber, the neck, the ankles, the abdomen, the chest run into synchronicity separated by a hair’s breadth and interspersed with a polar opposite. There is a pattern of opening and a pattern of closing that cascades and filters into one another as they endlessly change places.

The result is a spaciousness around the head and chest and a containment around the lumber and abdomen but with this seized instant, in any played out situation, the opposite is ingrained, embedded and emergent within what is outwardly foreseeable.

The rooting and letting go is inherent to one another just as walking locally and walking across distance are combined; we start somewhere and then go on from there.
