Shedding Performative Installation Ritual
Revolt Gallery, Taos, New Mexico
3/31/2022
A multi sensory experience in collaboration with The Lost Sunshine Cinema Collective. Here I released a video piece entitled "1-2-3" relating to love, boundaries, death, and consumption. Along with this video, I created an installation of oranges as a tangible & edible object that the participants were able to eat under a guided meditation. The oranges were consumed after a poem was read, where the skin acted as a metaphor for an intended internal or habitual release, and the flesh and juice of the orange symbolized the nourishment of what sustenance will enter once unhealthy habit is released. Oranges have acted as a symbol throughout time for many cultures around the world relating to creativity, sunshine, abundance, happiness, fertility, and prosperity. A free-form obscene act of spirituality and ritual with community. Performance allows me to act with the intention to liberate spirituality, and offer an intimate moment of reflection in through bringing all senses into the present moment.

Clips from this include moments from being scattered through the Mojave Desert with my dear one I love learning through a series of synchronistic events, vocal journaling in so called New Mexico, and a moment in Utah. This video played 3 times in Public spaces in New Mexico including with No Name Cinema, Santa Fe, Taos Center for the Arts , and Revolt Gallery where I created a shedding ritual and was able to collaborate with a group of extremely talented folks across many disciplines.
