Making Waves

This video takes a satirical look at the historical and literary associations between the feminine and the
natural, and how these associations are exploited by contemporary media. Combining the camp value of
a "Victoria's Secret" commercial with the spiraling grandeur of a Wagnerian wave crash my performance echoes the motion of a stretching bird with moves that could have been borrowed from the shower scene in "Flashdance." The white "censor spheres" flit playfully around my breasts, serving to accentuate the constructed and unnatural qualities of the movements.
