BEAT / FULMINATION | 2015
In early 2015, I was honored with an invitation to Summercamp's ProjectProject.
Beat/ Fulmination consists of a large bundle of used drumsticks tethered by a thick, dark grayed braid in a striking reference to women’s work and standards of beauty. The discarded drumsticks show their wear and tear as old keepers of various time measures and now hang beating against one another and passersby when activated by movement. This work is about age and aging, about hearing one's own inconsistent and eventual fading beat.
Beat/Fulmination is a spinoff from the Pairshaped project with Amber Nelson.
