The photographs show a number of different works.
The pipes and branches in the bishops house were left in place during the period of the show. However other works were brought in and taken back out every day. You can see a picture of me carrying the conjoined clothes horses. (I really liked this image and subsequenty used it in another context when I danced wearing it with the tea-towels I had printed with text from Gilpin.)
The clothes horse was stationed in the chapel, another piece was reassembled each day in the library and finally I made a different sculpture each day in the lay brothers refrectory using poles and fittings from various defunct gazebos and hazel bean-poles.
The abbey church offered the biggest problem interms of making work. The space is enormous and very hard to compete with. The best thing I could think of doing was to dance in the space. In reading An Bermingham's book I came across a tangental mention of the minet and felt that this would be the perfect dance. A dance that the early tourists would very possibly perform in the pump rooms in Bath before sailing from Bristol to view the Abbey and
Andrew Strong wrote the music and Aleksandra Nikolajev Jones choreographed me. Once I have finished editing the film I will post it here.
