I was drawn to the work of Thori Ingles ‘4 hours 42 minutes’, with its cyclical and performative descriptions of focused, repetitive actions. A story seems to unravel between the body and its environment, as each scene operates as a gesture, and physical imprint of action, holding the event of weight on surface. The pieces are successful in translating subtle movement with multiple mediums, tools and surroundings, while they trace and retrace their steps, until a bold circle is walked out in the grass, the hand seems achy and worn by the travel of the fingers and the drawing sheet documents the spiral growing sequence.
