DECLARATIONS OF HEALING

IN COLLABORATIONS WITH
ROIN MORIGEAU
Declarations of Healing is a 12 hr durational performance that took place in the storefront windows of Alpine Bakery in Spokane, Washington. This process-based collaborative performance used sewing machines, thread, fabric, and fiberfill as a medium to inscribe our thoughts into plush tapestries.
Encapsulated in the window our process became transparent. Our bodies physically exploring the cognitive process of rational and emotional thought. We asked each other questions, we asked each other for help, we gained and gave momentum while transforming the space and ourselves. We used the sewing machines to write out slow and deliberate statements. "What can time heal?" Musing in real-time on the process of healing was in itself a healing process. The vulnerability, the visioning, stepping into a project where the finish is possibly unknown.
