Cult of Motherhood

This performed sculpture series utilizes instruments drawn across the artist's skin to induce an autoimmune response (dermatographia). Audience members are invited to draw and write, watching as their marks quickly rise to create temporary scarification.

This documentation records a private performance in 2021 in which an audience member portrayed the fetalmaternal cell trafficking and persisting fetal microchimerism that is the apparent cause of the artist's ongoing dermatographia, more than a decade after giving birth.
