Shut Up (2022)

Shut Up is a meditation on light and confinement. Drawing upon previous work with reflections, breath, trauma, and self-awareness, I redirect light from the NARS Foundation Project Space window with mirrors and reflective surfaces. Patterns in the space, from mirrored pixels to rotating displays to sequined pillows, are based on pixelations of the surface of the sun. A meditation on time, celestial bodies, isolation and ecologies in the pandemic.

As a closing event for the exhibition, on March 22 at 5pm, I will read an excerpt from her book Performing Resilience for Systemic Pain, recently published with Routledge, in the space as the sun sets, and discuss it friend Stephanie Acosta and visitors.
