Approx 130 Sq. Ft

Wind, silk yardage, natural pigment (marigolds, safflower, madder, kutch, and kamala), gold gilded mirrors, and light.

 

The aura of a sacred body is suspended into the place where two orientations meet. Dragged across the room to provide a gesture nodding towards their presence. A simple gesture can be resistance. Wind is applied to the yardage to sync the movement of the silks to the breath of the audience. The space is beautiful but forces a carefulness when examining it. Light distorts and plays with the original colors of the fabric, thus creating a mythology of pigment an color. Senses become stained; divinity seeps outside the confined room and towards the audience. A confrontation.
