First of all, what is that title all about? Many of Grosse’s
titles are elusive and enigmatic, and that is deliberate. She is fond of using
stage directions, pieces of poetry or snippets of writings as titles. So think
about the absurdity of the title in juxtaposition with the artwork, but don’t
try to find the horse.<br />

I went to the artists’s talk on Sat 6<sup>th</sup> Jan, and
it is always quite insightful to hear an artist speak about her own work. Her
intention and how she sees the works, how she imagines the work to be seen by
others can be quite different to how the rest of us see her work. <o:p></o:p></div>

In this case her installation of meters (8250 m<sup>2</sup>)
of (initially) white fabric, spray painted in layers of bright colours is
immersive (we can all agree on that). The fabric had been carefully assembled
in voluminous soft folds on the floor of the Carriageworks hall, then huge
‘pinches’ of fabric have been hauled up to the roof space and suspended there.
The result is a ‘room’ of softly draped walls, no roof, and a floor of folds,
tucks and pleats. Visitors enter through gaps in the fabric, and walk on the
fabric of the installation. (some of us walked barefoot, which was sort of nice
– to really feel the creases and undulations of the artwork). Once the whole
structure was complete in space, the spray painting began.</div>

Grosse spoke with the curator of the exhibition and Director
of Carriageworks. At one point, the curator spent quite a bit of time talking
about how she saw the work – don’t know that that was entirely necessary – we were
there to hear from the artist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grosse commented on the influence of Edvard Munch (liberation
of the canvas from the frame) and Pina Bausch (dynamism in art). For Grosse,
painting is an architectural practice. This particular work had many
developmental stages, sewing, engineering etc. At each stage there were many
precise questions raised – usually had nothing to do with the art of the work,
but the logistics. She also believes that there is an energy within an artwork
when that work is ‘not quite right’ when it has an aspect of the paranormal.
The energy with this artwork comes from the suspension of these big pinches of
fabric. There are swathes of fabric creating beautiful curved lines as the
fabric stretches from 1 pylon to another.</div>

On entry to the artwork, one’s attention is elevated to see
how far up the artwork stretches. But then with the first step, one must look
down to negotiate the trip hazards of the tucked and piled up fabric. The spray
paint was applied after the fabric was arranged in folds on the ground. As a
result, the fabric which is ‘hidden’ has stayed white. As everyone walks on the
surface, some scuffing and displacement occurs, and the white areas are revealed.
How will this effect play out over time? More scuffing and lifting/moving of
the fabric will possibly continue to happen for a time – a few days, a week or
so? But I wonder whether there will become a time when the compression effect
of many visitors will pack the fabric down, and the pattern of colour and white
will become more stable.<o:p></o:p></div>

It is very interesting to see textile being used within a
painterly installation. The textile here is still very much a canvas, not a
piece of fabric as it may be seen in textile art. Is it purely because the
artist is known for her painting first and foremost, rather than for any sort
of textile manipulation and/or textile sensitivity? Is it because paint is
applied to the textile? Is it because of the ‘unfussiness’ of the draping? Is
it because the textile canvas is meant to be secondary to the painting element?
It is taking the canvas off the frame, it is still being treated as a canvas –
it is not being treated as a textile.<o:p></o:p><br />

.7m) reminiscent of the shape of a ship. This is hanging on a flat plane
horizontally, and is etched (?) with gently wiggly lines/shapes. It is hanging
above my head, and so looking up at it, with the light coming from above gives
me the feeling of looking up at the surface of the water from underneath. It is
like a watery ships deck. Strips of Perspex rod and suspended from the ‘deck’,
and then narrow strips of muslin/gauze are hung from these strips. These strips
are packed quite densely together to give the impression of a ‘solid’ space –
the hold of a ship. I have a vivid picture of the souls packed into the holds
of ships in the late 18</span><sup style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Century, and through the 19</span><sup style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The arrangement of muslin strips (themselves reminiscent of
cloth bandages) to from the underwater outline and shape of the hull of a ship
is brilliant. It is a rudimentary outline however. To be true to the bulk of
the hull, there could have been more shaping of the lower line – from side to
side and from front to back. I wonder whether it was deliberate to NOT follow
that line exactly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was also no finishing of edges of the strips. In most
cases the edges were raw scissor cuts, indicating to me that they have been cut
from a larger piece of meterage fabric, rather than the use of actual bandages.
Sometimes the selvedge edge is used. I am not sure that I like this detail. It’s
a bit like the artist was not sensitive to the differences of selvedge vs non-selvedge.
I would have preferred to have seen those selvedges cut off, to make the edges treatment
consistent throughout the whole piece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The whole room was enveloped in a soundscape of water
lapping against the hull of a ship. The sounds are gentle, reminiscent of a
ship at rest, anchored in a protected cove. The use of a soundscape reminded me
of the soundscape used in the performance of the play ‘Fallen’ at the Seymour
Centre, that I saw early in 2017. In that case the sounds were primarily of the
creaking of the boards of the hull of the ship when it was under sail. Those
sounds were active, intense and confronting. These sounds are light and gentle,
the sounds of the souls floating off.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I went outside to read the artist’s statement, which I have
reproduced here. It has the same beauty as the artwork. Towards the end ‘an
unrecorded death nowhere’ is particularly evocative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This pic shows very clearly the change in rope making style</div>
<div>
at the bottom, each fabric strip was being twisted and twined independently</div>
<div>
top of the pile, the fabric strips are twisted in groups of 3 or 4</div>
<div>
then the 4 more complex strands are twisted together.</div>
<div>
My current technique makes a more standard rope.</div>

I have had an epiphany</div>
<div>
My rope is spectactularly masculine.</div>
<div>
I had always intended it to show the voyage of the women of the first fleet.</div>
<div>
But there is nothing feminine about this rope.</div>
<div>
But that doesn't matter, it is actually better this way, </div>
<div>
and it allows me to make better sense of everything.</div>
<div>
The women wouldn't have come to Australia</div>
<div>
if they weren't brought by the men.</div>
<div>
The women were virtually invisible, their purpose would begin </div>
<div>
once the fleet arrived in Australia</div>

<br />
This rope pose is quite a tight knot - I found it hard to get the definition of front and back. My daughter commented that while I am getting good at shading the individual elements, the overall balance of grey scale is very similar. This brings up the thought of my reason for doing these drawings - 1 each week for 37 weeks - the time it took the first fleet to sail to Australia - or the gestation of a premature baby. The 'work' of being a woman and mother has no rules, there is no initial tuition. Our parents teach us the being a girl (hopefully they teach us how to be a confident girl). But being a woman and a mother is learnt on the job. Women form themselves into clusters or knots of friendship and shared experiences. we learn from those around us. My daughter is within one of my knots, so I will endeavour to apply her suggestions. <br />
My actual rope twisting/twining has gone quite slowly over recent weeks as I struggled with my sore wrist, elbow, shoulder. I figured I may have died on the first fleet, as I wasn't able to continue and complete my task. Anyway, I have developed a slightly different technique, so am back to it. The rope is lengthening as the days at sea ebb and flow.<br />
I am currently reading Tim Ingold 'Life of Lines' isbn 9780415576864, so very inspirational as I make and draw rope. And with receipt of a beautiful handbound book 'Writing + Drawing' Ed Ruth Hadlow and Marienelle Basson isbn 9780992524623, I intend to write as I draw and make. Maybe to share here? or not? I'll see.epocktextileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13427886369626519537noreply@blogger.com3
