Hiya!

I hope this lands whichever space, place and dimension you’re in with the upmost tenderness and care.

Lots to update on….!

But this is a quick-ish note to say you’re invited to join me at my interim show private view tonight Thursday 7 March!

It’s the Central Saint Martins MA Art programme interim show and opens from 6-8.30pm (last remaining tickets are here - it sold out but just heard they released some more tickets!) then it’s open to the public until Sunday (deets here for that).

I’m sharing an immersive interactive hybrid installation called ‘Portal of Pizzazz ✨ with u in spirit’. That means you don’t have to physically Be at Central Saint Martins or even in London to be able to join me! Although you are welcome to come by in person if you’re in London!

What is it?

Well, it’s whatever you want it to be - a portal to wherever you want to go, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually etc. I’ll share this and more with you and we can connect / play / experiment if it’s something you’re into.

But i built a space, a ‘Portal of Pizzazz’ to be specific, which is a real life thing, an installation, but it also lives in spirit ✨online✨, which contains tangible things which are equally ‘real’, imho. i know there’s those of you here who i’ve never met ‘in person’ but i feel a kinship, a fam-feeling, a connection. space and place has resonance beyond a physical ‘location’ eh?

We call it ✨Livity✨baybee!

I get it tho- what the hell is happening dionne and what g’wanin? well…

There’s…

• spaces irl + online i’ve made which you can explore

• possibilities for connection and conversation galore via your mode/medium/channel/vibe of choice

• listening dynamics cause i made a radio station - i know…
  - we go ‘live’ from the space at 6pm here - come join me!

• Sound in all kinds of forms like music (obvs) and more

• Meet me in the chat room online / bulletin board irl

• Leave me a voicemail irl or online

• Surprise visitors (on Thursday’s private view)

• Come and talk to me via the magical portal of pizzazz HOTLINE - beep me 911- not that number, i’m singing a Missy Elliot song, but actually, i’ll give you the number on air and we can chat on the ACTUAL blower irl and online too.

if the telephone rings, will you answer it for me?

I’m interested primarily in connection. How we connect. Create and co-create space. And pizzazz ✨ Of course.

…I’m learning how to use analogies.
…also apols for any potential mistakes, it’s been quite a time + i wrote this between trains and doctors and chemists on missions so hope it lands somehow.
