Sunset Slit, (2015), photo documentation of performance at Grace Exhibition Space, variable dimensions. *Sunset Slit emulates the image of a woman emerging from water and whipping her hair back. It starts with a bucket of clean water, but the hair carries black ink that becomes more visible as it dissolves in the water and splatters all around. The performer starts leaning over without bending the knees, bending progressively with each whip, finishing by kneeling on the rug.*
