Studio HermiH was formed in 2023. HermiH is the name of the forthcoming book, created by Naomi Lewis and Charlie Cattrall, whose inception came during the covid lockdown.  Their creative collaboration was born in an artists lab in Brixton, where over many years they built a container for the generation of work, rooted in the principles of freedom and the unknown, always practicing at the edge of what felt comfortable, a commitment to which remains in their work today. Cattrall is a Filmaker and Actor, known for his film Titus which received 2 BIFA Nominations (Including the Douglas Hickox award for best new director). Updates on publication of HermiH, illustrated by the artist Nooka Shepherd will be found here. Excerpt from the text shown below.

The drowning dream

Sunk,

In the morass of Him

-

Where is she?

-

There is movement together across an unseen terrain 

And sweat

Heat in the water

Blinkered  into one conjoined sight

They look

See the sea

‘The sea the sea the sea’

The drawing in of She

Death is She 

Life is He

Blinkered

Moss beneath the surface 

She and He

Into the blind seeing of skin 

Feeling of flesh 

Sweat

Life is dissolved into Death

She is in the dying 

He is in the living

Of the strung up life,

The haunted breath 

The living noose

Muscular tide

Failing flesh

Sweat.

Give me the summer to love,

Drowning,

Torn from darkness, 

Monkey wants the birth of death

Torn from the horse

Thrown into life

Bring me darkness 

Bring me to the place beneath 

Not this barrelling insult of life

Strange vector of games

The game of man

Where is She?
