The boy had three chances to answer the question correctly. Here is the question? What color is the bird’s song? A. Square B. Circle C. Triangle D. Rhomboid and E. Rum. Just to confuse him. The boy was confused. I don’t know, “Triangle?” No, silly it’s rhomboid. The shape of the bird’s song is a rhomboid. Rhomboid means shape of the bird song. (As said by Laurie Weeks).

After hospitality interlude, Rachelle Sawatsky will read excerpts from her writing and intermittently other writers’ texts, alongside a digital slideshow of her recent work. Her paintings and drawings explore dense, internal narratives seen through animal, mineral and vegetable imagery. Many of these works are generated from fragments of her writing, which is largely unpublished and occasionally made public through reading.

Sawatsky will also read a parallel text to Daylight Recordings (for Marlow Moss) (2015), a slide projection that will be on view concurrently in the exhibition BLIND WHITE at Diaz Contemporary, Toronto. This text was originally performed at Tate St Ives as part of the exhibition C-C. Titled Colorfield (for Marlow Moss), the text takes as its starting point a letter the artist Marlow Moss wrote in 1955 in which she wished she could write about abstraction simply. The resulting text is a sci-fi inspired poem that presupposes what would happen if we began trying to change the color of the planet as seen from space, through acts of destruction.
