a fungus amongus
A performance at sunrise for Spaceness 2019. Reminiscent of the first Spaceness performance i did with my son in my womb, this time I saw this as a collaborative and improvisational piece with him at 3.5 years of age. I had no way of knowing how he would respond in the moment. I had to think on my feet as he would not wear his costume. I had him climb into mine and as we hugged, he ate a meringue mushroom and sang a little bit of rock a bye baby while we swayed trying to stand together and I sprayed spores out of the top of the costume. Part of both sunrise performances was the act of getting the audience out of bed at such an hour so that they would take in a short performance, but then take in the beauty of the beach.

Before/After Scenting New York
The relationship between prayer, poetry and perfume in historical literature shaped the concept I used during this performance. I walked across the east-west corridor of 14th Street in Manhattan wearing a separate fragrance each day. I used my body traveling through space to change the molecular composition of my environment, and that in turn created new olfactory memories in the crowds I traveled through. Each scent was titled by a prayer or poem derived from found texts and overheard conversations of the day. For Art in Odd Places 2011: Ritual.
