3 Sisters: Lost Myth
video

By researching the histories, local stories, and myths of a specific locations I collect texts. These texts are then reconstructed through abstract narratives that explore place and identity. I create wearable sculptural pieces that are activated by ritual based actions that reflect aspects of performance; they become relics of a moment. The actions create happenings, that are recorded. I choose locations that stories remind me of my own multicultural background, which hold the same resonating traditions of storytelling. Aiming to point back to the idea of stories and the exploration of their use and need in our everyday banal lives. Copy this link into your browser to view video: https://vimeo.com/58058930
