“Affect, at its most anthropomorphic, is the name we give to those forces—visceral forces beneath, alongside, or generally other than conscious knowing, vital forces insisting beyond emotion—that can serve to drive us toward movement, toward thought and extension …” (Gregg and Seigworth, 2010, p. 1)
Empathic Gestures II is the second creative iteration from a transdisciplinary practice-led PhD project that considers knowledge and practice from across visual art, dance practices and psychoanalysis. The creative work is an exploration of inner experience through affect, a kind of knowing that is present within. It is the driving force in my making process — emerging from the unconscious with a gasp or an uncontrolled gesture.
