From the original Festival website:
A solo performance in which the artist addresses everyday and familiar materials with action and voice. These actions and objects express different meaning at different moments to different individuals.
Gillian Dyson works with response and suggestion, reflecting on a given site, context or audience.
Gillian works with history, imagination, the playful and the violent. Her texts and images abstract the viewer’s reality to suggest slippages in place, time and action.
Supported by Leeds Metropolitan University.
