Metabolite, Will Martyr
The pressure cooker theatre that a city creates with its architecture and people provides me with the source material for my work. The posturing of architects and over-engineering of their buildings creates a landscape of dazzlingly incongruous yet powerful experiences which when mixed bend reality. By experiencing these real spaces and then accentuating elements of them in my work, I am trying to bend further this reality and create a new theatre.
