Does culture matter?
Does gender matter?
Does preparation matter?
How do we cope?
In June, 2007 Claudia Bucher and I created the performance art piece,
“Will it make any difference?” for Waldkirch Theater, Waldkirch, Germany in which part of the work involved my wrapping and sewing Claudia into a cocoon. Since that time, the notion of the “cocoon” continues to intrigue me and I am exploring the concept in different forms.
For this piece, Carole Hennessey graciously allowed me to wrap and sew her into a cocoon.
