Oceanic Feeling
A durational ritual across a vast expanse of ocean shoreline, Faye Driscoll’s Oceanic Feeling charts the slow descent of 16 performers from the dunes and the sand to the water. Seemingly spreading into infinity, the performers - spaced evenly across an almost unseeable distance, enact a sustaining loop of breath and sculptural forms that thwart perspective and seem to tilt our sense of the line between sand and sky.
