The Naumkeag scourer is the particular part of a machine that my dad uses to reshape the soles and heels of shoes during the work of resoling.  The leather traditionally used for a longsole has undergone a treatment to render it hard.  As a result, when scoured down, the workshop at large becomes adorned with a light coating of leather dust.  My grandad used to mix this same dust with the earth when feeding his fig trees.  They have grown well and have outlived him.  A cutting from one lives at my parents’ place.

And so, before the dust settles, you are invited to negotiate a multitude of objects, spaces, sounds and performance in an old warehouse which used to function as a leather skin market in the 1930’s.  Let each enmeshed world intersect and overlap as an instrument of play grows within the warehouse.
