divinebrick (josie j) is a self research for the sacred primordial being. divinebrick name is a placeholder for an idea that the self is a divine phenomenon holding and care taking the grander whole. Decolonizing the self is the remembering of the soil the self is made of. The name “josie j” is the further erasure of the colonized self accepted for autonomy

Proposed work as accepted for soundpedro 2020:
It Flies over Quicksilver
An audio dance exploring the memory of a seagull after its primaries have been clipped, grounded in a land strange to it. A story told of a body changed to exist in an artificial world.
The seagulf goes through different stages in its life growth. Each time changing color. Through this life it sees vast distances.
Primaries are the major feather group that allow flight,
This work is a fictional meditation on the audio field seen on such trips of a gull grounded in an abstract existence. Soundscape made by body, body attire and artifacts.
