Self Portrait
as my Mother,
as an Actress,
as a Painter,
as a Stranger
Series of 3-hour performances
A woman arrives, unannounced and anonymously, at a gallery during an opening event. She is dressed in professional attire. Paint drips continuously from her purse, staining her dress and the space around her. She lingers silently for hours.In some versions of the work, a male-presenting figure takes the leading role, while in certain versions, the performer discovers their clothing matches the pattern of a painting on view. In yet other versions, two performers interact as both of them leak paint from their outfits. Power dynamics shift constantly, so that the audience is uncertain whether the two are family, lovers, friends, or colleagues.
