ABOUT



Spit and Swish, DO NOT SWALLOW

Standing atop a platform of dictionaries, I wore a double sided white button up and performed an unrecorded monologue between swishing and spitting saltwater into glass vessels for 2 hours.
Performed for the exhibition Possible Bodies at Phosphor Project Space.
dictionaries, saltwater, double sided business shirt, glass vessels, saliva.
2019
