For the inuit, as soon as a person moves, he becomes a line. And as you move through the landscape, you create several paths of lines. These trails are a meshwork along which life is lived.
(Tom Ingold, lines,paths and travel)
Stone Mapping is the drawing version of a continuous and durational exercise in exploring a relationship between a walker/explorer and his/hers relationship to the landscape. By becoming a walker/explorer in the landscape, you participate in the very design of it. Your presence, touch and movement leaves a number of traces, often in already ascended paths. The paths, or the lines, one applies to the landscape, leaves behind a myriad of networks, all signs of movement and growth. As soon as you move, you participate in the relationship between nature and culture, and between man and ecology.

A threnody is a wailing ode, song, hymn or poem of mourning composed or performed as a memorial for things or people that have passed.
Threnody is a performance project that sheds light on the body, loss of control, and physical pain. The intention of the performance is to create a situation where it is permissible to feel one's own and others' sorrow, and what it does to us. The performance can be interpreted as a physical manifestation of a mental state. The movements, the costume, the trace it leaves behind, and the sound that fills the room are the sorrow, the longing, the loneliness, the sense of being an outsider, and the powerlessness one feels when what once defined everything one was is torn away. In grief, there is rarely room for anything other than grief itself, something that the surroundings must also deal with.
