Hard to Swallow
performance (10 minute duration) rice paper envelopes
After the loss of a close friend, I was having an incredibly difficult time with her absence. I knew there was so much I had not told her. Hard to Swallow was my way to talk to her again, to tell her the things I hadn't. The letters were written on rice paper which were then eaten. The dry paper became nearly impossible to ingest, it feels impossible to transition from speaking to someone to holding them within you.
