VIdeo/Performance work "A Roll of the Dice" 2020

"Roll of the Dice" is an emotional response and reflection about being immunocompromised and having an autoimmune disease. The title of the series is Roll of the Dice because  I’ll never know how I’ll wake up feeling and essentially it’s a “roll of the dice”. This idea relates to the spoon theory which is that the energy someone who is immunocompromised fluctuates from day to day.  Roll of the Dice piggybacks off that idea. Some days we roll a six and some days a one. Painting and Sculpting require a lot of fine movement in the hands which can be a very painful experience for me because I have rheumatoid arthritis. I want to make art that isn’t physically straining on my joints and one way I can do that is through performance. The color limitation is in relativity to the colors that make up a dice. The diversity of  subject from frame to frame symbolizes a different number rolled on my dice. (And a very big thank you to the the musical expert  Michael j Condoleon)
