What’s the score?
A scratched mark - a reductive trace (writan - Old English; inscription) - a line made my removing the surface: this mark leads us backwards, telling us something about what happened, physically and materially.
A blueprint. A plan. A notation meant to guide and inspire future action.
A tally of points won during a match or game.
A record of past happening.
SCORE is the fifth category of line explored in the 2025 ECOLOGY OF LINE exhibition now live at Singing Apple Press.
Please see exhibition for full video and sound works. Images pictured here are mostly stills.

I am utterly delighted to share the first section of the 2025 ECOLOGY OF LINE online exhibition - now LIVE (link in bio) - with you today 💃✨️🙌
According to an ecology of line, the world is an infinite process of total translation (after Peeter Torop). Even Tim Ingold, the father of the provisional taxonomy upon which this work builds, acknowledges that threads and traces are not so much different categories as transforms of each other. Line begets line.
But don't take my word for it.. visit the show & decide for yourselves!
This first section explores THREADS 🪱

The work on show has been exclusively produced by participants from the 2024 TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY OF LINE course. Over a period of six months (Feb-July 2024), a cohort of 18 artists, thinkers, writers and makers, moved through a creative-critical consideration of threads, dots, traces, combining these to form weaves, transcriptions, to arrive at an experimental ecology of line.
It was my interest in writing that first started me thinking about how lines are made. The mark-made line links writing to drawing; the spoken line links sound to song. My interest in mark-making set me writing into every apple on a tree. My interest in the spoken line, led me back to the sounding, moving body and on, to the relationship between bodies, to the line as performance instruction (score) and line as trace of performance, as evidence of an event that has taken place.
This interest in the wobbly event of the line, how it is made and what its making conveys, finally led me to develop the intra-disciplinary, creative-critical enquiry that is: “TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY OF LINE”. Using Tim Ingold’s taxonomy of line as a backbone, this show explores different “species” of line - threads (3D line), traces (2D line), dots (the broken line) & invisible or imaginary lines - and how these different linear modes intra-act to form an experimental ecology of line.
The links for TOWARDS AN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY OF LINE: An Online Exhibition & the 2025 workshop can both be found in my bio 🥳✨️💞
