THE ELECTRIC WZ

The subject of my portrait is WeiZen Ho, a performing artist and deviser based in Katoomba. She brings together phonic-vocals and movement, whilst her performances transform and extend mundane postures, sounds and everyday objects or speech into poetic prayer. A performance improvisation event she initiated in the Blue Mountains, called Sound Bites Body presented 13 artists from sound, installation and dance disciplines at Bilpin International Ground for Creative Initiatives (BigCi) in February 2016. I performed at this event with WeiZen and my portrait aims to express the sense I have of her poetic movement and sound in a mixed media assemblage.
