The visual development of this work started in 2025, through my Arts Council England DYCP award, when I researched multiple large-scale Enso compositions and durational painting methods, with each Enso scaled to the human body.
In July and September 2026, I tested multiple Enso composition with participants in the small studio (images below). Initial feedback confirmed the artistic potential and I am now working on the production of the work ready for public performance in 2027.
“Cellular Constellation: The Meditative Landscape”
Work in Progress, 2026.
A significant turning point in my artistic practice, transforming my long-term investigation of the Enso circle from interdisciplinary performance into participatory installation.
Meditative painting and participatory experience that unfolds in two parts:
- Part 1 is a live painting performance that gradually fills the whole floor
- Part 2 invites participants to complete the work by inhabiting the painted composition and taking part in a guided meditative journey exploring individuality and interconnectedness, the micro and the macro, and the space between separation and oneness.
The project grew directly from a discovery during my Arts Council England-supported solo exhibition, The Cosmos Within, in 2026. Throughout the exhibition, I observed visitors spending extended periods within the gallery space, lying among the paintings, meditating and engaging with the work in deeply embodied ways. Many expressed a desire to step inside the painted circles, becoming active participants rather than observers.
