Performed on January 29, 2015 at Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, this live sculpture, a reparative meditation on our role in the creation/destruction cycle, was performed for 80 minutes with each posture cycling from prayer, to ghost, to collapse, held frozen for ten minutes. The form is inspired by street artist's “living statue” genre with elements of surfing, Japanese prayer, ghosts, internet culture and natural disaster. A female figure in kimono dress, face hidden under the long unkempt hair of a ghost, skin silver like a machine or the moon, adrift on a surfboard, is praying to a laptop that simultaneously plays clips of The Silver Surfer marvel comic and footage of the floating wreckage immediately after the 2011 tsunami hit Japan.
