this work has layers. heres a shortlist of words that relate to this piece=)

body. viewer. fanon. response. ritual. the round/around. (lack of) voice. action. object. skin.... and so on.

this piece required not only the viewer to act in artmaking but called for the viewer to share the role and process, by making marks on the sculpture. this is after the show ran for two weeks.
