Week 12

The day finally came and I recorded my performance piece !

So thankful to Max and Simon for being my best buds and supporting me literally !

I ended up going for about 10 minutes moving my body through the ceramic form. We recorded video of course I did this at the U of L crit space. Overall I felt really disappointed in how long I lasted, I was hoping to go for much longer but my arms were starting to give out. I decided the next day upon reviewing the video that I didn't like it very much, but luckily Max was kind enough to take photos of my after the performance, which I love.

Even though I feel like the bruises all over my thighs are more powerful, this image is much more striking and unfortunately I found all my tattoos kind of distracting. But the one of my butt I think really encapsulates the idea of the work and demonstrates the physical effects that the ceramic had on my body !

I decided that I wanted to remove the parts of my body that were not within the frame of the ceramic for the projection/final piece.
My first attempt at projecting didn't exactly work out as planned. I hated the way that the projector was working in general (I was using U of Ls) and was not happy with how the entire rectangle of light surrounds the image. Checking in with bestie Tiffany about these issues !
