Untitled (TRYING)
2010-ongoing

Single Channel video series
various lengths



Untitled (TRYING) is an ongoing video performance series of absurd exercises—like drawing straight horizontal lines simultaneously while running back and forth, climbing out of a sand pit on a beach, and failing at games of Perfection. Uselessly hard work and relentless trying are my White Anglo-Saxon Protestant inheritance and gendered compulsion to contort and comport myself to social expectations.
