During my time in Iceland, I have been learning more about the intuitive sides of my process as well as developing my writing, and the way it intersects with spatial or performance practices. I began working with ice as a sculptural medium: using a similar kind of entangled approach, I wrote text onto long strips of paper and put them in various shaped containers of water to freeze them outside, into sculptural forms. I would then pause and repeat the process, taking the ice inside, melting them together briefly, then freezing them outside again. The frozen sculptures distort and mangle the text, which I then read and re-capture; continuing the feedback motif.

I collected text from an online interaction with a client (I am a sex worker and webcam model), using it as a starting point to write a short play.  After taking it through the ice sculpture process I then used Blender to translate the reconfigured play into an interactive digital environment. The forms in the environment were inspired by my ring light, with handwritten text wrapping around the digital rings to mimic the way the ice moves the slips of paper. The audience would pass through the ‘ring lights’ after jumping off a slippery ice disc. Whilst they were navigating the screen, I read the play via video call as the original text had come from a video call. I am currently thinking about ways in which these sculptural pieces, both ice and digital, could also become costume – and to introduce my body into the process further.
