First Snow
digital photo and video documentation of performative action, video is 1 min 3 seconds, digital photo is of variable size, 2022
These ephemeral questions are presented to no one and everyone at the same time. While on a slow walk with my dog during recovery from surgery I was feeling what it means to care for and to crave care, to desire but to want to be desired at the same time. I was thinking about the struggle between wanting something for yourself but instead offering what you need to those you want it from.
This spontaneous performance of free writing in snow was honouring a void of longing and overwhelming desire in my shell of a body. While experiencing the confusing mix of having a new diagnosis as well as going through an inconvenient and confusing body/self/sexual becoming that feels it is threatening the stability of my relationships and my world, I'm coming to terms with my body being full of unresolved questions and a massive expanse of love.
