Through this residency I will be developing a body of work; paper-work, wasp-work, care-work - a series of videos as assembled digital fragments alongside live digital performance. Emerging from explorations in how institutional documentation can be metabolised through the body, metaphor, found materials and then re-scripted digitally, I will construct a counter-archive rooted in care and attention to smallness - engaging with loss, change, clumsiness and messiness. Incorporating glitch, disruption and incoherence, the work aims to question dominant structures of record-keeping and storytelling within institutions - with particular attention to care-system experience.

Drwy’r cyfnod preswyl hwn, byddaf yn datblygu corff o waith: paper-work, wasp-work, care-work – cyfres o fideos fel darnau digidol wedi’u cydosod ochr yn ochr â pherfformiad digidol byw. Gan ddeillio o archwiliadau o sut gellir metaboleiddio dogfennaeth sefydliadol trwy’r corff, metaffor, deunyddiau a ddarganfuwyd ac yna eu hailsgriptio’n ddigidol, byddaf yn llunio gwrth-archif wedi’i gwreiddio mewn gofal a sylw i fychander – gan ymgysylltu â cholled, newid, lletchwithdod a llanast. Gan ymgorffori nam, aflonyddwch ac anghydlynedd, mae’r gwaith yn ceisio cwestiynu strwythurau dominyddol cadw cofnodion ac adrodd straeon o fewn sefydliadau – gyda gofal arbennig i brofiad system gofal.
