I am delighted to think that we may have seen some of the development of this dance piece when we were sitting in awe under the wonderful Quipo in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern. Such a special day, such a special moment. As with all dance costumes, as lovely as they are as objects, they are incredible when enhancing a dancer’s movements.

Some process imagery of my costumes for the performance of Good Mourning Earth.
I feel incredibly grateful to all involved in the making of this beautiful piece and can’t believe I’ve had my work in this iconic space! Might just be the best work I’ve ever done….
This is in no doubt thanks to the creative vision and leadership of @_vidyapatel

Massive thank you to @rhigoodcostume for the costume making
