Sit
By

2015
As an exploration of the female autonomous body I decided to surrender to the processes and functions of my body. Allowing my body to produce a mark through menstruation, a mark that communicates the painterly qualities of the abject body. This mark all that is left from a seemingly still, seated action. Sit was an hour long action, that was seemingly inactive. Through stillness of my body it seemed that I did nothing, but the traces that remain illustrate how the body is never inactive, never truly still- always in process.
