The Mending Project

As a visitor enters the space, one is asked to cut off a piece of the white cloth hung near the entrance, and offer the cut section to the performer. The mended fabric grows throughout the duration of the performance, and takes over the vast area of the floor beneath the scissors. While the hovering, massive cloud of scissors alludes to distant fear, looming violence and worrisome uncertainty, the mending initiates hope of trust and healing in troubled times.
