2012; video of the artist sleeping, handmade cotton paper, bed; 80" x 60" x 25"

Recording the nights of the artist over several weeks, nights to days and silhouette of the tossing body is accelerated into a flickering light (moth at a bulb), projected onto the remains of a bed worked over. The deconstructed mattress frame is a precarious loom for threads pulled from a bedsheet. Cotton bedsheets themselves converted into a stack of loose paper on a loom table.

The space for this work is a partially finished building in a central field of Tanzania. What will become a school is left in-progress for some months and open to the sky, for the time being it has been adopted as a worship space. In one of the rooms, a series of offerings, inspired by the space and the red kapok flowers in the dry landscape.

2013; Kapok flowers, metal tacks, found wall; 2' x 12'
