Sandra Johnston’s artworks explore performance art improvisation as a form of porous interaction with the actuality of environments, open to variation, adjustment and affective responses. The physical somatic aspects of the work develop from an ethos of attrition – consciously attempting to use a minimum of available resources, intersecting with a desire to leave no trace on surroundings. This approach of ‘provisionality’ insists upon a speculative relationship to the emergence of narratives and meanings being formed directly, and conjointly, between artist and audience.
