This work was produced following a series of events. On one hand there was a friend with access to a print shop right in the middle of the pandemic. Also, I had been working with dancers, on performance workshops and had brought fabrics for them to work with. Some of the fabric was stretchy, some was semi transparent, and I had gone to a seamstress to join them to create something the dancers could get inside and be able to move. And I had these images of my face from way back; images used on a performance that I thought could work for the prints.

So, we went ahead Stefan and I, and he had the semi transparent fabrics silkscreened with one particular image. I wanted the same image printed, to see how they worked in the different colors. Suddenly the work started to have a life of its own, and I realized I had to overlap the fabrics and voilà! the piece was there. By overlapping the fabrics it created a depth in the image, and it became more than I had planned at the beginning. I ended adding fishing lines to the exterior fabric. The work hangs now at home, in the space facing the stairs to the basement: it has found its place.

I decided to use the words from a Talking Head song as the title.

I want to thank Stefan Hoffmann (printing) and Jennifer Drysdale (photography) for their work.
