habit :: [2010]
Performance installation, in 'Beast,' a group show at Million Fishes, SF, October 2010.
Habit is a hanging, sculptural drawing on transluscent oiled Nepalese paper, done in permanent marker with colored pencil tracing paper overlays.
I performed a 4 hour cycle of simple, habitual movements inside the piece.
