Perpetual Return is a performance during which I trace a series of systematic lines directly onto my body, a meditative repetition that eventually results in the complete erasure of the physical form. The drawings are based on the body’s geometric proportions, but not confined to its physical attributes. Seeing the physical body as a vehicle of transcendence, the lines build up over time, representing the accumulation of knowledge that lead to higher states of consciousness, and ultimately transcendence of the physical form. The invisible web that holds life together slowly breaks down releasing life back into the eternal.

Body Systems is a series of systematic maps that have been painted using gold ink over black and white photographs of my body. In many traditions, the universe is depicted as the body of a celestial being, hanging in the sky, lit up by distant fires. Often grafted into a female form, containing within it all possible worlds and time. Using my own geometries I have created these personal, internal maps.
