This durational performance was designed to draw attention to the multitude of people who have occupied this land before us. We tend to focus on history that is within living memory, failing to remember the legions who have gone before. And yet what we know of the world today has been imprinted and altered by them.
Building a house of cards, using a custom-made deck with images of current calamities and the politicians associated with them.
What do we neglect to pay attention to, as we rush through our days?
Water Moving was a 12-day contemplative investigation examining the movement of water. Every day on the floor of the gallery I marked the paths along which the water traveled and evaporated.
What are we ignoring? What are we avoiding? What do we refuse to see?
Lifting my own blinders to examine my contribution to climate collapse, by assessing my carbon footprint.
Crossing a damaged landscape on a boardwalk from the harbor, ringing a bell at evidence of human presence.
We are sitting atop the remains of previous generations. What survives? What disappears? What changes?
Watching water evaporate in the desert.
A globe of ice melts in my hands.
A durational performance, with help from the audience, considering global warming.
