Sarah Riseborough

Sarah has been writing mythical fiction and poetry for over 10 years, sometimes using speech and sound in performance, seeking context and language for a practise of being subject to material presence to voice unwitnessed narratives. This researches the shape of the female imagination and forms evolved from it. This process looks to a sustainable body-land relationship, to co-create cultures to support it cultivate possible futures from it.

“I want to map a place, evolved from my own creative activities, a site for assembling myths produced and encountered while my creative process has evolved from the western archetype. This is ground for a future selfhood, community and environment evolution from colonisation. I’m present to some kind of internal restructuring I’d appreciate space to witness, and, to consolidate writing about my practise, it’s evolution and its context. I enjoy being in the liminal spaces around creative activities, anticipating expanding recent land-based experiences, through being part of creative community in nature, rather than being ‘the’ artist in a community. It’s my intent to be alive to the activities my own materials, those of site, and site, itself, invite. I’ve a proposal in process, based on female artists experience of being-in-nature and in improvised performance spaces. I hope to make progress, drawing the writing and making together within this setting.”
