by hand and eye: dance in the space of the artist's book is an ongoing project that explores potential relations between body and book, dance and writing, action and the mark. It combines performance and inscriptive gestures, exploring a practice at the edge of the ephemeral and the material that addresses ideas about scores, scripts and documents of and by the body. It asks - how then to make the temporal permanent - inscribe it in marks or words that change the ephemeral dance event into an enduring object in time?
