About
Work


  1. Something to remember me by
    ~ Todo lo que me quedó por contar
    ~ El abrazo del tiempo
    ~ Apego
    ~ Thorned
    ~ ¿Y si la llave no cabe?
    ~ Tengo algo que decir pero aún es pensamiento
    ~ I don’t know where to blossom
    ~ Entre la nube y la montaña
    ~ Desde mi ventana
    ~ I tried to change the past
    ~ Home is where the heart breaks
    ~ Sembrar     un jardín
    ~ Una lágrima que pesa
    ~ El peso del vacío
    ~ A     la sombra
    ~ ¿Donde esta la raíz?

bare flesh, bare wounds, dismembered 2022
performance
4-6 min


Because of the nature of the performance, photographic documentation is limited as this was meant to be experienced in that fleeting moment, and documentation would have been intrusive.

The moment remains within the memory of the audience and in the memory of the clay, which was then dried, recycled and reuse

Spoken word extract:


[... thick and velvety
I felt its embrace
bare flesh, bare wounds, dismembered.

comfortably disoriented I thought 
 comfort able.
rebellious clay
“slow, gentle, salient like oil”
from it all things can flow
all things must flow, 
 continual birth
I kneel in front and feed her water.
maternal waters 
of continuous birth
the nameless waters know all my secrets 
I leave it all behind.

How much of her is an extension of my mind. 
maternal waters of continuous birth
enough earth, enough water

one drop can germinate,
one drop can dissolve.


A tear 
maternal waters
of continuous birth
I have been holding my breath.
I have been holding it in .
As I tore myself,
A tear fell down my cheek.

Acidic.

tear

the inner wall, crack,
the outside body

in clay I re-membered my      self...]
