death of the matador

2006

Centrum at Fort Worden, Port Townsend, WA

5 inches x 72 inches x 24 inches

A performance conducted on the grounds of Ft. Worden involved collecting all the dandelions on one block. On my hands and knees I dodged an industrial lawnmower much like a matador filling a five gallon bucket full of flowers. These flowers were then strewn out in a rectangle proportionate to a man's height and width on the ground.
