This ongoing collaboration between Maura Hazelden & Lou Laurens explores the relationship between the material and the immaterial through image, voice and movement. Can the physical change consciousness, create sacred space, evoke the “holy”?

Mae’r cydweithrediad parhaus hwn rhwng Maura Hazelden & Lou Laurens yn archwilio, drwy ddelwedd, llais a symudiad, y berthynas rhwng y materol a’r anfaterol. A all y corfforol newid ymwybyddiaeth, creu gofod cysegredig, galw ar y ‘sanctaidd’?

A limited audience at any one time. Refreshments available.

holy hiatus 3, 4 & 5: repetition & stillness



Drawing has always paid an important part in my life. My two favourite methods being pencil (currently Staedtler EE) and pen & ink. The work has ranged from near botanical accuracy to abstracting the landscape. I also view drawing in broader terms seeing lines and arrangements in everyday life that I photograph – from natural to synthetic. Throughout my life I have also used movement. In formal training I learnt to remember sequences of movement by orientation in the space and a sense of drawing with feet and hands. When I created a phrase of movement (to be repeated for 6 hours) for Holy Hiatus I was very aware of the floor pattern, especially as one of my practice places was on the estuary in Trefdraeth/Newport.

Cosmic housekeeper: sweeping the yard.

art @ rhosygilwen









one square yard is swept.

what is the geometry of this? what is the space time dimension? which space am I sweeping? my headspace?
Somehow on the steps I felt more like I was shifting space, cleaning something in a parallel universe/somewhere else in the cosmos
