Performance for Swansea Performance Weekend at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea. A reworking of my previous work Too Many Marys for the context of Linder's exhibition Danger Came Smiling. Dozens of glossy images of the Virgin Mary are cut up and pinned to my dress with the help of the audience, to create a collaged collection of votive offerings.
