Slowly Moving With a Burden Bent
Slowly Moving with a Burden Bent, the artist walks, carries, and occasionally rests. A participatory performance, pausing urban time, welcomes dialogue and gestures that undo and reassemble repurposed fibers into a secondary, three dimensional poetic response. Look for the burden of an exaggerated canvas backpack being carried, slowly. Look for the moments when the burden requires rest. Stop to listen for the fiber being torn. Stop to listen to the dialogue between strangers twisting and knotting fiber and looking for the words chosen to anchor the ends of the chord before the artist packs up the tangle and moves on to another location.
This work is traveling to NYC, October 18-20th. A part of Art in Odd Places. Artnet has recently reviewed the event, A Quirky Art Festival will be Unfolding in New York.
