my work
this weekend
A piece of mine (probably Plane) is going to be shown this Sunday at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA. It is part of a screening of very short film & video works from Women in Film & Video/New England and curated by Rosalie Fay Barnes. The event is part of Harvard Square’s May Fair Street Festival and is free and open to the public. It starts at 2pm.

punching
Recently, I have been thinking a lot about transformative actions. In the Digital Media Theory class that I took last spring, it was mentioned that people who have experienced heavy blows may walk around differently than those who have not, because they know how much they can handle. I was thinking about that and also considering what it feels like to brace yourself when you know that an emotional blow is coming, versus bracing yourself for a physical blow.
I decided that I wanted to know what it feels like to take a hard hit. Being punched in the face is something that I am very afraid of, but I thought that if I could face my fear and get it over with, then I too could walk around without fear.
So, I had my friends Dawn and Rachelle punch me in the face. Thank you girls! They had a tough time hitting me hard enough, since they weren’t mad at me or anything, which meant that we ended up having to try over and over and over again. Eek. Its been about fifteen hits over three sessions, so far. Until I get it finished, click on the picture below to watch my first ever punch in the face.
