GLASS

Trying to get inside a feeling. As though in a room where I watch my movements parodied from the other side of a glass pane. This image is not mine but I am stealing it. It comes from a poem by another woman. Opacity dial — this one is mine.

This performance, like many, involves my body doing a series of actions: weight and waiting.
