CEREMONIAL DANCER
10"H x 8"W
2014
patinated action-figure legs and arms ✦ butterfly staff ✦ frayed rope tail ✦ steer head ✦ recorder torso ✦ Nike eagle wings ✦ cotton thread
Materials: plastic, nylon and cotton.
Body built around a black recorder laid sideways as a torso, bound in crisscrossing red thread and studded with small gold beads. At one end, a red-painted steer skull, its horns and snout jutting forward. At the other end a burst of frayed white rope streams out like a tail. And it danced, androgynous but mighty. Clutching a delicate silver butterfly, showing a cluster of blue-violet petals blooming between powerfully split legs.
