A butoh piece inspired by the work of Nerys Johnson, a disabled artist working and living in the North East who painted bright and beautiful flowers in the final years of her life. Go and see these stunning watercolours and more at The Laing, 'Nerys Johnson: Disability and Practice', beautifully curated by Rachel Boyd @weelkentface .
