POETRY
Life is a performance. With a needle, I tattoo short pieces from my poems & philosophies onto my body using the handpoke technique. It is a performance that flows into my daily life. A performance that will continue for life. With the same motion, the needle going in and out, I sew the same words on textiles. It emulates the skin in which the performance has extended to a matter separate from the body & thereby creating a new body into the space. What is inked on my skin also appears on textile.
