Retreat and Collapse
2011

Retreat (costume) was created for a dance performance (choreography by Annette Christopher) and Collapse (wall construction) developed out of Retreat. In the context of the performance Retreat functions as a barrier to conflict and intimacy preventing any sense of partnership or community. Collapse is an aesthetic abstract of Retreat, explores the concept of dimensionality and what might happen to Retreat without a sustaining body. Created initially as independent works of art they collaborate to bookend the spectrum of dimension.
