About the Project for SCANZ
As a durational performance work, becoming boulder uses gestures of blending in as a strategy to establish empathy between various live material bodies at the confluence of the Huatoki Stream and the Tasman Sea: the stream waters, the sea tides, the sand, the boulders and my own human body.
