Today's 'Long Minute' is by artist Henrietta Scholtz. In Henrietta's words; 'I draw the body...disrupted, disfigured, awkward and beautiful. The body takes up space, place and geography in our communities, families and identity and these structures, ideologies and constructs move our bodies. To me drawing is a physical process and I have long wanted to experiment with using my own body in its awkwardness to move against and with my drawings and both be an embodiment by interaction and a form of 'redrawing'. An echoed call and response. This is also why I used a classical string quartet (the communal) alongside a home recording of myself singing (the individual). How for me, in the art-making process, initial planning can seem deliberate, smooth and rather external, but as the idea starts growing the process can become fraught with insecurities and very internalised, until you reach that coming together of intellect, emotion in the actual making of the art.'
