Performance made in collaboration with Offshore Workboats Ltd., which took the form of an attempt to lace together the banks of the River Clyde using over one mile of heavy, black mooring rope. The rope was pulled back and forth across the river by a workboat and tensioned around bollards on either quayside to make a zigzag lattice spanning the water.
Performance commissioned by IETM (International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts), 2010. Film screening commissioned as part of Commonwealth 2014 (Cultural Programme for Glasgow’s hosting of Commonwealth Games).
