BENCH

My thought processes are most prolific when I am waiting, waiting in mundane environments, waiting for people, buses, my hair to dry, my dinner to cook, queuing, queuing always queuing and waiting for my real life to begin. Bench is a way to record these moments, this waste of time, my small revolt against time and the non-places that occupy my life.

Bench was last performed at the National Review of Live Art in February 2008 and was originally performed as part of the Spinach Outdoor Exhibition in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, July 2006.

'Bench was a much needed antidote to the other more sincere and overtly staged live works at the NRLA...the work perfectly harnessed the notion of waiting.'
