Artist Statement
Beginning with a distribution of items to the audience including bones to represent loss, foil wrapped chocolates to represent desire on an ornate tray with barbaric and clumsy gloves.
Wearing a top of wrapped blue plastic and a frilly loose skirt, a handful of dust is dropped. Then a handful of glitter from the opposite hand. Memories. Aspirations.
Then to perform promise: hope, ritual, gritty, minimalistic dance, at times white petals fall out. A performer striving to be “good” but when so much is awry.
