NO REGRETS (2013)
No Regrets was a developmental project looking at the nature of regret, how personal experience can inform practice and how artists can explore different ways of transforming personal experience into artistic outcomes.
Do you regret : Not having done something you always wanted to do… or… Wish you could undo something you regret having done?
5 people including myself met at St Martins Church Colchester. It was a perfect space – a beautiful, peaceful and calm environment that lent itself to allow us to build a sense of trust and express very personal regrets that were only to be heard by each other; and were then given the task to each spend up to £100 in the following week in order to have no regrets. We met again at the end of that week and used this experience to create a performance/installation response. It was an emotional weekend and was a privilege to have spent that time with the group. My No Regrets task eventually resulted in a happy outcome.
