Naturally was born from that inspiration to explore, both the
landscape and our role within it. Working with the naked figure in nature is
straightforward, there is an obvious connection with our natural history. I’m
interested in what happens when I introduce cultural elements – colour, shape
and dance gestures – to question that relationship.
Naturally is also a personal
journey of exploration. My interventions took on a theme of tension between
order and chaos. I like to align, structure, analyse and ultimately control –
in a visual sense – the world around me. The dancers with their free expression
confront me with an opportunity to let go of a bit of my control and let the
chaos unfold. In a way the dancer in my work also comes to embody my original
childhood playfulness. - Source

I just thought this work in particular was so very powerful. I especially love the top image, and I could imagine this as a printed art piece on my very own wall.
After finding these images, I then began to look at more of the artist's work and found myself very much inspired for my new project. I was looking for images, artists or just performances that could give me some information on expressive dance as I was thinking of trying out these figures for myself in my own work. It was very lucky I landed upon this amazing artwork.
