She Inhabits It

Installation and performance in a floating red barn. Copper & brass wire, husked walnuts, handmade paper, beeswax, rope, reclaimed lumber, violin strings, tacks, buried treasure, sewing kit, typewriter. This multi-part performance walked through rituals to personalize the site and make it safe. It involved a charcoal burial for a treasure chest, hanging and placing over a hundred walnuts in front of the site, weaving webs inside, and reconstructing the hayloft floor. The audience was provided handmade paper treasure maps made on site. Each map was unique, tracking a different path on the farm. The performance inhabited a building not originally part of the farm. While resonating a forgotten hayloft, the performer nested over the time capsule buried in the ground underneath. Art Harvest, Marquette, Nebraska, October 2006. Performance duration: 1.5 hours, two showings. Thanks to Art Farm.
