It's hard to keep your head above the coffee table,
Video Performance, 2014

In this video performance, I am pinned to the floor by an upturned coffee table. One by one, rocks are placed on the coffee table, and gradually, the weight becomes unbearable. I hold this weight with my body, until the facilitators remove the boulders.

I have never weighed the rocks and coffee table. The weight we endure and carry physically and metaphysically is not always measured. We know we must proceed and endure until, slowly, the weight becomes bearable. The work is a meditative performance of being a carer. How I use my body, take it for granted, perform it, endure it, abuse it and display it. The need to endure the performance. There is no beginning or end. It’s a process based on routine, a cycle without an end.
