In this work, I perform alongside an entry from an audio diary about meeting someone new for the first time after leaving a relationship with my rapist. At this point, it had been over a year since me and my rapist had ended things, and after a lot of healing (and putting off healing) I decided to try to get back out there with much difficulty. In this performance, I utilize plasma CNC cut pieces of steel shaped into the vague shapes of flowers, and arrange them into different compositions. For the climax of the piece, I shove these metal pieces into the back of a butt plug, and choke on it, creating a metal mask that obstructs my face until I can no longer withstand the feeling of the plastic in my throat.
This work was performed in front of a live studio audience and documented, but has not been exhibited anywhere or been made publicly available until now.
That's All Folks!
