Trace

 

[performance at Yellow Fish // Epic Durational Performance Festival]-2014
 

Tracing time on the body, movement through the body, time on the page translated into movement for the body. I trace my pre-teen diary, using the shapes of the words and not the content. I use these blurred, abstract forms to recreate those pre-teen actions once written down. What gaps are left when comparing memory and written record? How can we directly translate language into movement? What stains? What gets lost?
