Many artists have the luxury of creating their masterpieces in a room alone with headphones and their favorite music but performance artists start with ideas that may end up within a short time in the trash can. So with my last Art Installation for the International Day of Dance. I was planning a nude photo shoot with blank white masks but when it came time to do the installation there were NO willing participants. I had not recruited anyone ahead of time, preferring to allow it evolve as it would. This is the part that is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. Deep breathing and trust are the only tools to get through these moments. What is evolving is what is meant to evolve and as a true artist it is essential to KNOW AND ALLOW the process to unfold. The best collaborations I have been a part of are with others who can also use these tools and the results are usually beyond what anyone would have imagined.
So what happened with the white mask project????
3 men and 5 women donned the masks , fully clothed. We headed to the nearby train station and got some amazing shots that will absolutely speak to issues I had not at all championed. Again, I am not the doer in these projects but the recipient of amazing experiences and the awe of working with other creatives who are also NOT FAINT OF HEART. ( PHOTOS COMING SOON)
