This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Artist Statement
I believe it was John Cage who once told me, "When you start working, everybody is in your studio – the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas – all are there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you’re lucky, even you leave... The first question I ask myself when something doesn’t seem to be beautiful is why do I think it’s not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason." My Gestures 15 project consists of further engagement and exploration through the practice of dying and prosaic crafts/building trades, etc. The thrust of the 'artwork' is the act of work itself, but also it becomes for me a means of functioning within a personal aesthetic, philosophical, and political framework in which I negotiate the world. Essentially in preparing the room for the next exhibition, through a combination of both erasure and exposure of previous activities, I (re)create a corner of reality.
