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; adulterated photographs are available for viewing on Pornhub. 
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.
