A touring Exhibition/Performance. White Room/ Strawberry Girl
A white cube with a door way on one side 3mX3mX3m. the door is slightly ajar and inside is a white vinyl padded room. In the iterations at the NGV and the EAF the room was surrounded by a 9m circle of steel frame draped with fine white net. A performance took place in the room which was then shown as video documentation. There was also a collection of found objects and assemblages associated with the exhibition. The exhibition brought together themes of loss and mental illness with a visual critique of the construction of girly femininity.

Christine – Sousxie and the Banshies
She tries not to shatter, Kaleidoscope style
Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise
Christine – the strawberry girl
Christine – banana split lady
Singing sweet savages lost in our world
This big-eyed girl sees her faces unfurl
Now she’s in purple now she’s a turtle
Disintegrating
