Plucking L'Origine, 2016
pair of tweezers, pubic hair, naturist resort
performance duration: 7 days of public pubic grooming
In the summer of 2016, I participated in the residency Naked State at Bare Oaks Naturist park. While there, myself and twelve other artists worked and lived in the nude for ten days. I developed a public, pubic plucking performance, wherein I plucked each day to create a set of abstract, geometrical designs. In this manner, I broach the supposed desexualized quality of naturist philosophy.

Photographs and video compilations of this performance are available to view by appointment with the artist.
Performed at Bare Oaks for the inaugural Naked State residency between August 5 - 15, 2016. "Usually-only-temporarily" (2016) was published in Issue 3 of LAUGH Magazine.
