These performance works by Kirsty Hall and Elly Cooke lasted a few hours and
were performed on the two afternoons I was there.
Kirsty Hall's performance consisted of adding pins to a piece of light cloth. She was approachable and chatted with members of the public. She was amicably sewing while creating a heavy armour of pins.

For "Ice Prayer" Elly Cooke knelt on the floor, with eyes closed, holding an ice cast of the space between her hands. Each performance continued until all the ice had melted and here lasted for about 30 minutes. Issues such as endurance and persistance, were poignantly connected with mediatation and prayer and the forces of nature.

Above: Echoes of the Heart cast glass objects, lightbox by Holly Robertson. Metanoia, the sound work on the wall was subtitled: 'the process whereby one turns to God and one's heart is changed from stone to flesh. Heart felt change.' What you heard was first an adjective, such as 'cold' or 'warm', and then the word 'heart', and so on, spokenly in a soft woman's voice.
