Project Description

Strike Light – By creating individualized match boxes and exploring gestural accumulation inspired by the "STRIKE" of light, this project re-imagines Cheri Gaulke’s The Postcard Project: Our Heroines, Arlene Raven’s Picture This, or, Why is Art Important? and Jane O'Reilly's feminist reclamation of "CLICK," described as the moment we see that something is wrong with the world portrayed at face value and resounds in a woman-deaf, woman-blind world as an earth shattering revelation. The resulting installation will be accompanied by a live performance.
