Anne wrote that "It contemplates the open arena and shared communication that performance practice offered, particularly to women artists in the 1970’s. During 2013/14 five contemporaries of mine, Monica Ross, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Alexis Hunter, Sue Arrowsmith and Rita Harris, women artists I have known since 1970’s, died. All of them had used performance as a vehicle in their practice... The work had begun in Finland with the first part The Shivering, a communication with Monica Ross and then extended into ‘conversations’ with the other four artists
