Today’s session continues the use of sellotape except today I focus on the limbs.
Sellotape is fast becoming my favourite new costume accessory. Much like yesterday the day begins early with some tea and a rummage through some vinyl then its just loading a camera and off we go...

The process of binding is becoming a ritual, but essentially I repeat
the events of yesterday except today I focus solely on binding my arms, nothing
else; and of course it goes something like this:
• setting a timer; running into position; binding; waiting for flash;
going back to the camera; apply double exposure quirk; quickly jump back; bind
some more; repeat...
There’s some chaos too - I make mistakes, miss my position, fall over
etc, but also there’s a lot of exhausting lateral thinking, remembering where
my limbs where, are going to be, to enable the double exposure.
And remember I only have 5 shots per cartridge of expired film.
As always there's the urge to keep going, to move onto the next session
however I'm aware I need to take stock. To slow down. This is how I've planned
to work - one element a day. Each one is its own performance.
