PERFORMANCE,  VIDEO
8MM FILM DIGITALLY TRANSFERRED, DURATION 2:35

Pulling a three-hundred pound log encrusted with pressed tin from deteriorating Baltimore homes, the artist grapples with the wreckage of past generations. In this performance piece, progress on an inner city street proves near impossible and every ounce of energy is utilized to create momentum. There is no end in sight. The artist acts as a beast of burden: not focusing on the finish line but pushing forward, his labor amounting to a meditation on movement and resistance.
