Slowly Moving With a Burden Bent
In this installation and participatory performance the artist's body carries conversational prompts in an exaggerated backpack, stopping to rest, using the Annex as a temporary home. Activations invite others to gather to cross stitch text and enter into a graceful dialogue using a score held by three gestures: Tearing, Twisting and Anchoring a length of fiber.
