Float
A public performance for PICA'S 2006 TBA festival. Suspended on floats 20' above the water, my craft weaved and teetered down the Willamette river as I spoke to the opposing shores and the river itself through a formation of gilded megaphones. A sound composition by Bobby Jones supported the monologue built form poetic rumination and sea chanty lyrics and linked the participants in an operatic moment of pageantry and civic spectacle. This slow procession theatrically charged the river at dusk and gave its flow the function of poetic meter.
