about

This year I took five words from the french language to Newcastle (UK) and using templates attempted sunmade tattoos of each word onto my body. Failing effective natural tanning i searched for alternative methods for tattooing to give similar results.
Each word can bit split in two and make two words. The deconstructed words have connotations that refer to the body or tanning.
E.g. Peau finer Vein Arde -nt Cou Rage Ton Sure Cor Nichon
Whitley bay was my base, where the possibility of encounter and investigation of the surroundings provided ample material to produce the work. In a performance of two parts; the action of tanning resulted in a translation by musical demonstration, which is possibly classed as lo-fi/art-folk. I wrote 5 songs (one per word/tanning technique) detailing the cognitive/experimental process of attaining each 'sun-made' tattoo. The result was a concert for ArtHouses. The installation of a stage, including interactive elements, offered a dynamic edge to this form of storytelling.

Cette année, j’ai importé cinq mots de la langue française à Newcastle (Royaume-Uni). A l’aide de pochoirs j’ai essayé de réaliser des tatouages solaires de chaque mot sur mon corps. Faute de bronzage naturel efficace, j’ai recherché d’autres méthodes de tatouage pour obtenir des résultats similaires. Chaque mot peut être divisé en deux et former deux mots. Les mots déconstruits ont des connotations faisant référence au corps et au bronzage. J’ai parfois pris la liberté d’adapter ces mots pour laisser apparaitre un troisième sens.
E.g. Peau finer Vein Arde -nt Cou Rage Ton Sure Cor Nichon
Whitley Bay était ma base, d’où la possibilité de rencontrer et d’enquêter sur les environs fournissait suffisamment de matière pour réaliser l’oeuvre. Dans une performance en deux parties, l’action de bronzage a entrainé une traduction par démonstration musicale, qui peut être classée comme lo-fi / Art-folk.
J’ai écrit 5 chansons (une par mot et technique de bronzage) détaillant les associations cognitives / le processus expérimental pour obtenir chaque tatouage “fabriqué au soleil”. Le résultat fut un concert pour ArtHouses. L’installation d’une scène, comprenant des éléments intéractifs, offre un avantage dynamique à cette forme de narration.

lyrics

SONG 1 BEACH/U.V. U14 U13 U17 U18
COURAGE ..COUPLAGE ..COULEUR...COULISSE

COURAGE ( ULTRA VIOLENT RADIATION) U.V. Ultra violet.... radiation
Bronze ing... It’s not work ing.. COUPLAGE no COULEUR the RAYONS weak, not generating any heat.
COURAGE is RAGGING.
Collectiveness of Collective nice, Collective dress LE COQ SPORTIF
Fisty Cuffs, a Mighty fist,
Down Zimmer, Sand pit matter
Seaguls fighting OVER spilled batter.

COUPLAGE ( coefficient electromagnetic acoustic)

BRONZONS – LET’s GO TANNING RUB yer neck FROTTENUQUE CORNICHON – Blistered Nipple, blisterd nipple
TO THE BEACH FOR A TAN, OILY SPAN, LAID OUT TOWEL, LAYERED STENCILS, TEMPLATES OF LATIN WORDS, POCHOIR.
LOOKING UP INTO THE SKY PLUMES OF LOWCOST LOCUST COMING BY, OVERHEAD
BRONZONs keep on waiting, keep on waiting for a tan, oily span , laid out stencils, on my body, latin pochoir.
SINCE THE 90’s, i’ve been planes, i’ve sailed the soils and sands of distant lands.
COULEUR
Skins unstable, SP15
Umulsify sun cream types
Anthelio SX, MALIBU? , HELIO FULLER PROTECTION
UVB, UVA, SPF SPECTRUM
SKIN ISSUE Skins unstable,
ROSA SEA - SP30
COULISSE ( NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR BACKDROP)
BUY some olive oil, Travel on postcards and train tickets
There’s no shame in staying home and watching the U.V. Twice a week ULTRA VIOLET RADIATION
Keep on going on ..not to Malta or Gibralta, BRONZONS GONE WRONG, PEACHES TURNED PLUMS.

LOOKING UP IN Whitley RIVIERA, INTO THE SKY PLUMES OF LOWCOST LOCUST COMING BY x 6

SONG 2 TEA, COFFEE, COCOA U 9 U19 U20
Menton. Mon temps, ton mon ton ton de tendre temps….Epanouisse monte ons ! Epanoussiement ton !
Épanouisse .
COCO POWDER ,COFFEE, TEA,

SPAnish city, je te reconnait malgre le fait que t’es gravement moins chouette, T’as grossis enormement c’est peut etre a cause des scones. Ton œuf enorme est grande et blanc. Trompe dans le jaune de ton nostalgie
,
La lumiere est triste et sombre Les tasse de thé ça tourne en rond En face la mer de huile c’est flouOSSUAIRE OILY BALNEAIREL’huile de mer coule sur ma jambe

TWISTING and Tea Tanning on the Ballroom floorLove hearts in the tunnel, amusing arcade, spongey cheesecake…Chocolate visions of oily balneaire/ promenade/esplanade. Le Soirée, I remember Fishing Garments off the Floor,Fishing Tattered men, Fishing Tattooed, Tattered fishermen*Celts week, end to the month
RITUALS of blushing cheeks for quite cheap, tea brightens up your little cheeks, coco powder is much louder, coffee ends in streaks..ALL this culminating in a distant dim, NIGHT x3 , Lit. A goose egg/ a giant egg. With stars around it glistening, tea and coffee cheek to cheek. The egg it open up its doors, the yolks are dancing off it’s floors, dancing music, polished skin, distant, dim, glistening.
Song 3 U 5

Je travail sur mon regarde
Mon summer couleur tangerine
Je porte des lunette tous les jours
ça ME permet de pas perdre la tete/
Comme la mer ma tete est vide
Mes yeux de crystal halide.

Tu me rejoins au salon
Tangerine peaufiner/
EN finnitons je marque ‘un spray’
TU le prends aussi tu paye pour moi
C’est romantique ephemeral
Tu mets un pochoir sur ton
Corps, elle spray ton peau finer/

Les mots tu dit quand tu sors
Sont inseperable de mon corps
Meme si c’est temporaire
J’esperes que ça dur longtemps
Le peau fini, c’est touchant/
Ephem erarite dans le salons
De beauté comme toi et on

C’est pas nulle comme un tatouage
Transmission radial/
Tu réagir des mots juste pour
Ecrits sur ton corps
Effet solar x 3 SOLAR SPRAY /


Song 4 Henna
Vein ARDENT Vein Ardent,
MY veins are burning, bubbling, went to see the…TANNING TECHNICIEN
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I’m in henna, bought loads of the stuff, green slime in between a tenner.
Dessin Chanté x 2 singing drawing
DETAILED Diagrams of humans drawn with sun cream,
The arms of Q.V talking bulldog to a fairy ice queen.

HOW DO YOU MOVE AROUND?
I travel on train tickets.
Running on the nerve system, Vein ardent.
HOW WOULD DESCRIBE YOUR REFLEXIVE MODE OF REPRESENTATION?
Life in photo mental, life in youfie mental, life is selfish mental, got no photo mental, like it’s sentimental.


SONg 5 food coulouring U10
SUN DRIES SUN DRYER SUNDRIES SUNDRIER
1.
SEEK some shade inside the Indian resto
Eastern philosophies moving powder clouds, to reveal skin beneath
2.Understand your tonning time
Tonsure TAKE CARE be sure ATTENTION COULEUR of your tone

3.Apply the right sun dries, pickled carrots are fine, note; pickled pickles may blister your nipples
Indian resto pesto/ cups of powder
4. Swap tone accompagning creams for mint yoghurt and mango chutney
Relief from caprisun that warms the body dilating blood vessels close to the skin


5.Eat tone friendly foods
New Neer Dosas, Smoked Samosas, Special Balti, Chicken CHasni..... Darka Daahl
6.Faux your glow
Be tonsure as BRASSENS said: you may fake your glow that makes sense that makes BRA SENS you know!
