Performance
Three texts were the inspiration for this work: Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man, the United States Bill of Rights and the United States Patriot Act. Passages from these texts were applied to the skin with a layer of thick slip. The slip dried over time and created a heavy cast. Slow movements back and forth produced fragments which fell off. Once freed from the material the performance ended.
