WALKING- I enter stomping- exaggerated movements 
I Summon The feelings of RAGE, of ANGER

Tell me who i am,

the shapes of my meaning.






























Evening Dream
Chicago, Fall 2008

There is the longing for touch, intimacy, and emotion, that becomes a reminder of our shared humanity.  There is the  erasure of history one sentence at a time, one experience at a time.
