JADE BABY BAMBOO SPINE is a sacrificial ritual. A hunted body gives itself over, only to split across timelines, slipping between prey and predator, vessel and force.
The work was created in ritual collaboration with Jade O’Belle, Aditya Surya Taruna a.k.a. Kasimyn, and Georgie Rei-n Lo in Cornwall.
“From black and white into colour, dream state into consciousness, we see a forest spirit, a kind of Djinn, imbibed elixirs, and a stone circle; binaries of ecstasy and death, master and slave, and liminal phases fill the frame. ... Absurdly intoxicating.”
— Mike Pinnington, The Double Negative
