The BOLT Project

Sewing the strips together

The BOLT project

I am reading the definition of 'bolt' from the dictionary, then diary entries from 1936 from my grandmother, then running out the door of the gallery with the long bolt of cloth I constructed incrementally. People are talking, I'm not really performing, I see people I know and love and talk to them. Then I do it all over again. I don't know the best way of documenting something that takes place over a long period of time. Slow art.
