Small Excavation

2025
Performance, France 2017. Working with ochre in the studio, it felt natural to dig into the earth; it was rocky with plenty of richly colored soil in between. Digging felt satisfying and curious, what was I in search of? I was not far from Lourdes; the story of St.Bernadette loomed, a young girl digging where the Virgin Mary told her to, a place where a spring bubbled up out of the earth.
For my part the performance was about looking for answers within myself, removing layers to expose a softer center? Another way of interacting with my environment, recalling the past.
