These reliquaries explore an alternative way to document performance. Many of the performances represented are inspired by stories, and the portrayal of these performances are yet another story, another layer. These sculptures use physical remains to expand from their origin – experimenting with what happens to live-art after an event.
For information on the original performances:
A Nail, a Knife, & a Needle
Onion Cellar
Me(a)nder
Nail Soup
I have also been using the relic mythos to stage processions and reenactments. The first reenactment was The Onion Procession.
