Bryant Park Shoeshine, 2016
42nd Street and 5th Avenue, Manhattan, New York City
​
​
For this participatory public performance, I bought a pair of all-white Air Force 1's and received a shoeshine at the stand on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. The work embeds itself in the practice of shoe-shining to explore it's material and metaphorical qualities, and it's relationship to aspects of identity, power, and labor.

​
This performance, made in collaboration with James Hanley (Correctional Rehabilitations Manager at Columbia River Correctional Institution) and Tia Kramer (artist/choreographer), uses the language of boxing to explore physical conflict, power, and submission. Audience members were asked to document the performance through a writing exercise.
