This past weekend I performed at SMALLS from 4-5:30 pm. I wore many of my hair ropes as a headdress and sat in a circle of hair and spun a rope of hair with thread by hand. Inspired by one of the three fates, Clotho, I sat quietly and birthed this new strand of rope from the loose hair that surrounded me. The piece is called "Source." I am at the center of all energy and I am the mother who chooses who to birth and when. All photos by Christina Poindexter

Things are a changing for me lately. Transitioning from a stay up all night and make art and drink beer lady to take care of myself and actually eat three meals a day and prepare for motherhood lady is a pretty big deal. I love being pregnant. I am excited about this new part of life.

What elliott e. is up to...

I am finally sewing again! It's simple design but it's getting me going after a long year of grad school. Some is going to Reconstructed Clothing Co. in Seattle. The men's shirts are either going to Textures Handmade Market or on my etsy shop. The gold top is sooooo mine!

CCYS Mural

This past month I worked with Capitol City Youth Services to improve their newly renovated children's shelter. I was assigned a girl's room and I had such a great time supporting a great cause!

Fluxus

A group of artists and I performed many fluxus pieces at last Saturday's Art For Dinner to celebrate 621 Gallery's 30th anniversary. Here are some shots from the fluxus ans well as my "remember" piece that were ordered by the 11 tables filled.

performance at the capitol

Last week my ladies and I came together and protested for the Uteri! I was Uncle sam with Lady liberty bound and gagged on a leash. Four others were in chastity belts with gags and hands bound pleading with lady liberty to help them free. Silent protest/ silent performance at the capitol in tallahassee, fl during a planned parenthood rally.

Remember Performance at SMALLS

This past Saturday I performed at SMALLS in Tallahassee, Fl. Remember was a piece to honor and reflect on the act of remembrance. I had many spools of thread at a table covered with white paper. I tied many threads onto all of my fingers occasionally writing down what they symbolized. Audience members were invited to sit across from me and have a thread tied onto one of their fingers and write down their remembrance. It was quite a beautiful interactive experience. My memory is already improving.
