FRAGILE
Exploring Art Work that Can Be Linked to Dying, Death and Loss
19 February 2016 – ND Salon
Presentation by Ursula Deniflee and Renée Pfister
Natural Death Salon invites for an exploration of various topics surrounding the human fascination with mortality. We examine and discuss contemporary art practice that we feel is intricately linked to the themes of death, dying and loss. Difficult to articulate, we rely on creative expressions by artists which can touch us in a profound way.

DOWN AT HEEL
A panel discussion facilitated by Ursula Deniflee
23 July 2015 – Club for Act and Actors
John Cowpertwait captures footwear that has been left behind and is not useful anymore, we find ourselves with a record of loss and abandonment. This evocative collection of photographs can make us think that it is not the beauty of the art object but the experiences of the artist that make works of art meaningful. Perhaps a hunger for life includes coming to terms with loss and endings. John Cowpertwaite’s photographic series ‘Down at Heel’ is the point for a panel discussion exploring the diverse impact of images on individuals.
Panellists: Jenny Hobson, Tim Waterman and Frank Watson
'When We Get Older ... Learning from Our Body'
Biodynamic Body-Psychotherapy Conference - 16 November 2014
Aging can be seen as a developmental process and a meaningful part of life. In psychotherapy session, when I tune into body-aware presence with a person over 55 I found that the body starts to tell a story. This will be my starting point; from there I hope to draw a wider picture exploring the diverse meanings of getting older.
