Foreign Body

A foreign body exploring Adanas streets: Foreign bodies can be curiosities and I explore this notion further during a series of planned works mainly set in public spaces, including my performance singing to passers by whilst dressed in costume and sitting in the back of a moped powered open top van travelling through the streets of Adana, Turkey, suspending and disrupting the everyday-if only for a moment. Finally I complete the performance in the gallery window. Sometimes as still as a mannequin and then suddenly springing to life and song.
