Hallucinations
Hallucinations is a hybrid sculpture and dance performance, similar to the format of my past project Restriction, Perfection.
Through sculpture and dance, Hallucinations shows alternative views of living with mental illness; revealing the beauty, tragedy, and everything in between; challenging stigmas; shifting perspectives; and so much more.
The sculptures and the performance were influenced by true stories collected from people living with mental illness. Thank you to each of the people involved for trusting me to weave their stories in metal and movement to create a work that will show a new side of mental illness.
Project Collaborators include:
Music: Brady Custis
Dance: Annika Johannson, Hannah MacKenzie-Margulies, and Julie Marie Muskat
Photography: Mel Hesse
Video: Faye & Voelker
