FREE Spirit is a performative
installation in public space. It is an excavation site measuring 15’x15’, including a tent canopy, display area, and digging
tools. This durational visual performance uncovers 53 buried mason jars in two days. Each jar contains a secret from the first 53 years of my life. As I meticulously dig this grave-sized hole, I encounter
and reflect with each jar and then clean and display them on the display timber located beside the archeological site. An information pamphlet will be printed and mounted in a holder so the public can take a FREE copy and
learn more about the work. FREE Spirit-Memories not yet Remembered
is a performance ritual series that explores uncovering secrets from my past, referencing religion, sexuality and self-identity.
Uncovering and examining my past (represented by the jars) is a freeing act of letting-go of burdens as these secrets continue
to haunt and shape the person I am and have yet to become. Downtown dig site. Promotional photo. Dig site view. Early stages of the dig. The 53 secrets. |
