Susan Sentler, from her shared research practice with Glenna Batson:
the f/ol\d as somatic/artistic practice
What can a fold be? A vessel, womb, pocket, pleat, crease, cavern … an/other way to enter
corporeality through the discovery of the vibrancy of thinginess. In this time together, we will
explore the f/ol\d – a practice of somatic/artistic making – of letting things appear.* The f/ol\d
becomes alchemical through improvised languaging, gesture and collaging of material and
media. Come dive into and out of our enfolded topographies.
Participants will partner with material/media – paper, fabric, photography, text, drawing, and
filming. The mix of materials with moving matter helps to propagate a multiplicity of
possibilities, becoming an archive/anarchive** of process.
