A cobalt blue chair is sitting on a the verge of large reservoir of water. In the background is a hill with green and purples. The water which forms the largest part of the image is very still. The weather in the picture is Scottish - a beautiful dreich day.
This blue chair was part of my design for Fault Lines by Two Destination Language. Fault Lines celebrates difference and foregrounds the lived experience and stories of six womxn from different walks of life, my thirteen old sister with learning difficulties in that number too.
The chair has been sat folded in the corner of my studio since March when the Spring tour finished, thankfully just before lockdown. It's subtle optimistic blue never stopped looking at me. That optimism comes with sadness too, as the months pass and I slowly unproduced the tour the work was going to go on this Autumn. I hope that the tour will happen someday, somewhere, soon.
As I re-evaluate my place in this freelance landscape, I have been walking lots, doing yoga religiously and I have also been swimming in a reservoir in the hills. The reservoir has become my sanctuary. My go to place to seek some possibilities of answers.
For Take A Seat, I invite you to sit at the blue chair! Gaze at the stillness of the water, unlearn learned behaviour, dip your head under the water and imagine a new future! That is the place where I find myself currently emotionally and physically. Me and my blue chair.
