Locate brace Section 1
Clip from Locate brace section I 2005. Performed by Naomi Chamblin, Audrey Ellis, and Erin Reid. This piece had three structures built of salvaged wood and layers of white lace and silk. A bare woman,covered in white powder, stood within each structure. Structures were lit for two minutes, exposing the women in a bound still posture; and rotated in darkness to a new facing, changing the perspective of the scultpture, body, and posture. Structures were seen anterior, profile right, posterior, profile left. White lights were at full intensity, creating an austere and brutal wash over the structures. With no sound score, this sculptural installation had contrasts of harsh and soft, and clynical versus formal display.
