During the 1970’s, I made a series of anxtions - anxious actions - with the artist Peter Davey, both in public and private investigations. These actions, included reconstructing paintings as ‘live’ works, collaborative paintings, reconstructing Bollywood scripts, taking a journey prescribed by chance edicts and based on Samuel Beckett’s novel Mercier and Camier. We evoked the wild imagery conjured in songs such as Screaming Jay Hawkin’s Alligator Wine to create visual/sound actions and worked with the poet May Green on specially commissioned poetry to be used as improvised texts : And the Sunflowers Turn in a long slow Dance Offering fierce Sun bird seed While cowboys Thread small cattle, down a dusty lane in Florida M. G. 1978 See also Hayward Annual (1979) |
