Control can be easy to map out, but harder to maintain; we want our bodies in space to undergo both the process of finding control and forgetting about it completely. The softness between control oscillates through slowing down and speeding up. Forms can be unsteady, even when they are already understood as being reliable. Process begins to show the rough or smooth qualities; the marks we lay are indications of the objects beginning to wear down, to change, to stabilise. Wobble. Hold. Steady. observes how our bodies begin to fold, curve, drip, wrestle and hold on when we start becoming tender with objects.

Kelsey Diamond likes small things. She picks up, sorts, and meanders through the missing bits. She often works with found objects and ephemera in this way in a daily practice of collecting and sharing. She is especially drawn to lost objects for their materiality, their novelty and their fragility. She completed a BA of Arts at ECU in 2012 and has been active in curating / organising in the Perth arts community since.

Ailsa Waddell needs intensity, they work in short bursts. It can hurt sometimes, and the thought of stopping can be as uncomfortable as continuing. Their work is a continuing discussion on intimacy and softness between familiar objects and the way it relates to the process of hammering. They are currently completing a BA in Fine Art at Curtin University.

Both work in Boorloo (Perth), and find themselves thinking about single words for weeks on end. Something between a wrestle, you must stop eventually.
