The Gypsum Spirit of the Thornborough Henges
Arts&Heritage Winter Digital Commission supported by English Heritage. Performance to camera at Thornborough Henges, North Yorkshire — a Neolithic ritual landscape thought to have once been covered in glowing white gypsum. Olana Light performs as a 'Gypsum Spirit' in wearable sculptures referencing the mineral, devising her own rituals at the southern henge at the cusp of the 2023 Winter Solstice.
Searching for a Place to Belong
Searching for a Place to Belong reflects the multiplicity of identity and the never-ending pursuit of belonging. Arising from the sea of pebbles, the mysterious creature yearns for an encounter with passers-by but shies away and looks back to blend with its natural environment. Exploring notions of the self and connection with the body, others, and nature, this work challenges perceptions and asks us to accept the absurdity of the Other.
