until they feel – ahead of them – a barrier is a site-responsive work that captures human bodies caught in cycles of unstable and unproductive gesture. Both they and the estuary landscape appear at a limit, on thresholds of action and inaction, of holding and releasing, falling and walking, expectation and arrival. All elements struggle to remain visible. There is a sense of attempting to see the unseen, the bodies inhabiting conditions of the site and the site exerting pressure upon the bodies.
