Gesture Jam
1997
Pratt Fine Arts Center, Seattle, WA

Two performances deconstructing the process of drawing and sculpture and the figurative tradition.

I drew on the floor to the beat of a live drummer, posing while being drawn.
This was my first performance converging the roles of artist, model, and artwork.

While posing as an artist's model, I covered my body with clay, recycled from figure sculptures. Reversing the myth of the sculpture come to life, flesh becomes clay. Raw material full of possibility.
