Installations play with time as well as space, putting objects together that are not connected in the natural world. I intend to perform the art as I always do, only the performance will be preserved. It always is preserved, even in marble. What else is Michelangelo’s David? Why then?

I do not perform this art to make anyone feel any way. You are how you are. I am who I am.  Whatever that is. Consciousness. I do this art to play.

The room, I saw the closet that will be art. I wanted to inhabit it, curl up in a blanket. I measured it, sketched it.  The door is 40” wide jamb to jamb. I will stay in there, do more sketches. Play music in it. Sing and dance. It’s very small. How odd. I’m dealing with how claustrophobic I feel in my life and I’m working in a little closet. I think it’s 72” long. It has a window covered with brown paper. I see work spilling out of the closet into the room.
