DON'T LOOK BACK --- Ram Samocha, Warning 1997\8 oil on canvas. This is an early work which I worked on for a long time and eventually destroyed. I really liked it but back then the yellow was just too much for me. From time to time I think about this work and miss it. www.samocha.com

Isabel The Phantomat - Black Water Painting, 2018. A large sheet of paper is placed on the floor. The artist is inside a skin-tight sack of transparent latex, closed around the neck. She pours black water into it. The water fills the spaces that the latex can't enclose. The water can drip through a hole at the bottom of the sack and leak around the neck. With her movements being compromised, the artist creates an abstract drawing through little drops of black water. Her movements vary from meditative slow to explosive spasms. The painting wants to be spiral galaxy.

Carli Jefferson (UK) - Footfall: service, spillage, steps and the stain. Twelve cups on saucers huddle around a cafetière in the centre of the canvas, encircled by a thick line of black printing ink. The performer fills each cup to the brim and dances to the edge of the canvas to serve coffee to the audience. Her inky feet respond to the ambient sound, simultaneously marking improvised rhythm in time, and marking notation on the canvas, in one and the same gesture. The hands cope with holding the cups stable as they rattle on their saucers. Inevitable accidents occur: coffee is spilled onto the apron and canvas. A conversation forms between the audience, the tapping feet, the rattling and falling cups, the spills, the stains, and the ink.

Jenny Arran (UK) - Axe Drawing, 2018. Jenny Arran makes drawings using an axe dipped in ink, working intuitively in response to music and the marks, as they develop. Arran’s interested in drawing as an embodied practice - the idea of being 'in conversation' with the paper, the axe, the ink, the music - drawing as a response and a translation. Jenny has been using an axe in her work for a while, liking the primacy and energy of it - how it connects to landscape - which is a running theme in her work - and shifting its use and context, in relation to what the axe stands for as a tool.
