Barrow - my piece for the exhibition ‘Performance as Protest’, accompanied by a small section of a longer soundtrack.

Plant dyed Irish linen with batik, birch, blackthorn, earth. Audio written and sung by me.

In an economic system built upon constant growth, the act of decay is a protest.

In Celtic folklore, the cauldron of creation lies at the centre of the Otherworld, in the darkest place. All life and creativity springs forth here from the deep. Light comes from darkness, growth comes from decay. The people who walked these lands 6000 years ago paid attention to this fine balance, this cycle, by marking the solstices, summer and winter, and building monuments aligned to their sunrises.

In this piece, I invite visitors to enter the barrow, go inwards, be inscendant. Put the headphones on and allow themselves to fall into the darkness and to find, in the deepest place, pure potential.

The fabric is decorated with my own designs as well as Ogham - a runic script used between the 4th and 9th centuries in Britain and Ireland. Some believe it to have been used by the Druids (from Duir, the Celtic root word for oak). It is said that each rune represents a tree, so it is known as the tree alphabet.

Trees are coming more and more into my art and performance making. Expect to see more Druid things soon.

Thank you to @filmmakerfinn @finnisferal for helping me edit and record the audio, and thank you my house @sthallarsen @elsalalalalalalalalala and Finn for putting up with the cabbage dye smell. And thank you Ruth for your lighting tips. Love you all 💕 by @pollyfronk

We walked through the land where fairies dwell,
Elusive and fleet of foot.
They gave us gifts of story and song,
Grown from the land’s root.
We all one day return to the land,
So we must hold these gifts dear.
For in our growth and our decay,
Fairyland is near. taken in Slieve Gullion by @pollyfronk
