Paper Portraits

Performed by Joe Moran and Florence Peake, the duet takes on the permanent collection giving new readings of the work via the moving body. Portraits are drawn, torn, crumpled into appendages and left as offerings.

Falling between dance and the visual arts, Paper Portraits explores dance's relationship to artists' materials: how movement influences art, the choreography of construction and how line, colour and sculptural form can bear its mark on movement and space. Performed within the galleries, life-sized self-portraits are created influenced by the sitters in the Collection.
