STRETCH IT
2005-present -Performance

In the Stretch It: Stretching Oil Production performance, I invites audience members to stretch large painted latex images related to oil history.  Oil Drums, oil rigs, and supply and demand curves get stretched, defining an ironic image of “stretching” oil production. 

By interacting with audience members and discussing the source of the imagery, discussion is generated about petroleum dependency and the future of energy. People are also curious about the latex material and are excited to stretch and distort the images.

This work has been performed in a gallery setting, in a town square in Ohio, at festivals, and on stage.
