St John at Hackney Church

With intention, we present I Open My Eyes And Taste Desire; a commitment to the exploration of knowing and communicating the nuanced experience of sharing emotional and physical intimacy with oneself and other.

Should I be afraid to vocalise what I want... Should I know, can I know, can I ask, when I know, and I want to know more about how I want it to feel, who I want to fill. I want to be held, I want to hold and be held, I want to excite and be excited. I want my red to leap out of my chest and meet your blue. And I want my blue too. I want to fill the disparity between what I have, and what slips delicately around my mind.

Within the playground of fabric, we create tension, we hold, we pressure, we caress, we constrict, we release, we hold, we dismiss, we wait, we push, we release, we inhale, we exhale, and we taste desire.
