 This project is a series of process based artworks exploring imagined lines made by the trajectory of the feet when dancing tango.

​The feet maintain a connection with the floor whilst changing weight and it is this 'groundedness' of the free leg that connects with the music and gives the dance its own character and a patina of imagined patterns on the floor.  Using a prepared surface, the resulting marks made are unique every time.

​'Drawing the Language of Dance' is an ongoing project and includes a series of light paintings (large photographic prints, archival ink on paper),  performance drawings and videos  (see all videos on www.youtube.com/jalexrae
