Jo with ottoman, Melbourne, August 2018
Siobhan Murphy
Jo with Ottoman, Melbourne, August 2018 is a portrait of dancer Joanne White. Choreographer/Director SIOBHAN MURPHY asked long time collaborator Joanne to choose an object from her home to work with. The resulting portrait became a duet between Jo and the ottoman – a vibrant familiar object anchoring her in a white void.
