Jivan Simons Mistry

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours)

‘Softening’ is the word I use to describe the gentle and gradual loosening of self. My words move like rivers and unfurl like plants. They don’t like to be kept in pages. So, I let them sing. The sounds in my work are transporting, familiar and soothing. I make confluences between the way that I listen and walk, often among trees, birds, waterways and more-than-human life. It is a language based on reciprocity that I feel is meditative and conversational.
