“These works poignantly execute erasure as a form of coping because I am left with no other choice. The actions throughout my performances are conducted in repetition—from a beginning to an end. The line from Adam Phillips’ book 'On Flirtation' has a particular standing within the movements and choreography throughout the performances and the method of painting. Phillips’ analysis on forgetting is especially important for these performances because, “... forgetting is a way of describing the remaking involved in substitution, and by the same token, the most dangerous insights, or revelations, are those one cannot forget." I present myself as a body to an altar (at one end of the space) that is rewriting a repressed memory from beginning to end. These performances are only meant to be durational because they are rituals. Erasure is gradual and a fractured memory.”
