The Pleasure Principle, Untitled 1, October 2013
forsenga, October 2012- January 2013
Forsenga is an interdisciplinary performance art installation, responding to multidisciplinary artist Senga Nengudi's sculptural works often referred to as the R.S.V.P. 'hosiery series'. Like Nengudi's practice - which comments on the female body through common household materials - Forsenga explores the erasure of the female form and aspirations of images of perfection never reached as three performers tangle themselves between triangular compositions of nude and black hosiery.

MeloMeander is an experimental exploration into the infinite connections between the past, the present and future of the black female body and sexuality.
