Poiesis of Weathering

Poiesis of Weathering is a series of short performance videos. Each episodic sermon performs a cartography of harm through a choreography of refusal, layered across individual and collective histories, held in performance rituals.

Each clip is an excerpt from a 2-minute 30-second performance video. The original timeframe responded to an open call, but I’ve chosen to retain it across the series. Each video holds to this fixed duration - an adopted constraint that becomes part of the language.

The body holds council. Sometimes reactive, unconscious, speaking in tensions, through illness, through intuition.

This is not an artist statement.

This is a prologue.

It’s my voice.
It’s Clares voice.

Poiesis in F Sharp (clip)

I move through traces made before.
I am material without form.
Inheritance as climate.
It clings.
It shifts….

Poiesis in Memory (clip)

Peering through the window,

I watch myself fall gently to the ground,

like a subtle memory
slipping away.
