I attempt to unite the
traditions of poetry and correspondence. Unlike other arts intended
for group presentation, my work is directed to an audience of one
person. I craft my words to remind or forewarn, engage emotional
healing, or expand the recipient’s spiritual knowledge. For this
reason, angels or messengers are often in my work. The
“poems” in this exhibition are all from my letters. For
this collaboration, I transform the flat text into a three-dimensional
object; and, on the occasion of our opening night reception,
vocalize the obituaries into live performance. My text installations
and theater represent, 1) aspects of a widow’s
incommunicability: speechlessness, voicelessness, silence, reticence,
isolation, and desexualization; and, 2) remains of the dead: their
re-integration and transmutation.
