Performence Event

I have participated in a Graduate Thesis Preparation by David Horton. Chairman David Horton had Professor James Andrew Brown prepare the �Monster� creation. It had to be big enough that the graduates could walk through and mobile enough to move around. We worked on that project and the day of the Show I was to get half naked, run around with a wrap on my and I or someone got the idea to place mud on our faces and my breasts. There were two of us to run around wildly and antagonize the audience. The Monster was to represent something in which the graduates had to pass through to come out at the other end in order to let go of something in which held them back like fear. It could have been anything personally to them, but generally it was to find their fear, face it and let it go. And prepare them in a special way for MFA Graduation that year. I must have did a good job because Horton said, �We are hitting the malls next week.� That was a joke but I was inclined to really do that for I had lots of fun. This took place in front of an Audience and was in the Power Art Gallery. Also in the Power Art Gallery at WPU I have participated in one or more group shows with sculpture and possibly painting.
