The Horrors of Everyday Life

Music video where I roll my party angel sculpture across town.

Original song

 

Come On Down

My mom and I flew out to be contestants on The Price is Right. In homage to not only my Nana, but for grandmothers everywhere and that special bond that exists in between the crevices of daytime television. Fantasy pockets of glitz and glam that offer some escape from our daily routines. Nana used to yell out the answers while juicing carrots in the kitchen, dreaming of her chance to one day strike it rich. We are taught to visualize ourselves winning lots of money, making connecting to what is artificial, meaningful. I felt my heart break on national television, while manically forcing a continued smile through the realization that I and so many others, will never get the call on down.

 

Human Clock

Human Clock, a personally designed obstacle course , time-based performance, where in a circular pattern I crawl, balance, advertise, paint, dress, count, blindfold the audience, live out a fantasy to audition on the voice television show by singing STAY by Rihanna, and blow up a party popper to signify the completion of one revolution. This is all filmed by Roman who is an imaginary performance art videographer based in reality.

 

1-800-Business Mermaid

Singing “Part of your world” from The Little Mermaid on the subway in an attempt to bring a little absurd joy to other riders.

 

Dream Death Box Machine

performing within a fragile / temporal structure I built to mimic the absurdness of every day life while contemplating the death of a loved one. I perform a series of actions while singing a song of lament.
Materials include, frames, canvas stretchers, chimes, plastic flowers, clay flowers, mirror, found dog skull, dead bee, fake plastic swans, hand-made porcelain corn, bells, rotating display stand, glue, string, ripped up green paper and a vintage hair dryer.

Trixie Travels

The beginning of my journey and work with found bust and muse who I have named Trixie. I sing and play the piano along to her first journey where together we find her lost pedestal in the illustrious cast hall at PAFA.

 
i dreamt i went shopping for new clothes they were made of dewy rose waltzing with the flowers esperanza vestir la verdad if my closet were a garden then maybe I could fit in i dreamt of more elegance and in secret my ego got drunk put all the flowers in a trunk pushed it far under the bed where it was safe from my head the water started to rise as I tried to sign the guestbook she ripped it from my hands and I drowned in the rising flood and i gave my heart to the sea
