In Tandem (2025)
Duration: Approx. 60 minutes

Dance House, Wales Millennium Centre
In rare event that blurred the lines between gallery and performance space, three collaborating artists—myself, sculptor and artist Cecile Johnson Soliz and composer Richard McReynolds—premiere our new work Infinity Duet at the Dance House in Cardiff.
During the performance, audience were able to move around the space to experience ‘Infinity Duet’ from multiple perspectives and explore the layers of the collaboration. In addition, audiences experienced vignettes featuring large-scale sculptures exclusive to this event, and at the end they were welcome to stay and chat with the artists and dancers, to learn more about the process and get up close with the artwork.”

The sculpture can't help but yield to gravity, and neither can their bodies. Two people deal with time and weight in this brief reverie.
