The beginning of a series of process works that aim to unpack personal attractions, trauma, relations to others and environment through the manipulation of subjects and material as a form of art therapy. This iteration comprises of an array of drawings relating to the above in both pictorial and text form, attached individually to the wall by tape and glue. Accompanying these drawings is a platted length of twine that hangs and coils around a hook, down to the floor on a clay container of oily dye on a used cloth. Both drawings and twine will extend, expand and transform over the course of the exhibition.
