Susan Sentler: enter the f/ol\d: somatic/ artistic artmaking. (Morning Session)

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.
