Abstract: My artistic research involves paper and cellophane as media for performative acts of drawing and encountering. The paper undergoes a metamorphosis from a site of reflective space to a physically animated space and, as it does so, it embodies transformation. With both paper and cellophane, I explore the relationships between place, body, and material as moments of becoming. These explorations relate to writing the self and these actions speak to the larger social body as micro political acts.
