M O L T Performance @ Torrence Museum of Art July 2021

Feeling a change can be a brutal process, and may take much longer than the act of change itself.

I like that in nature, the process of growth can be the ripping apart of old skin, or a perfect shell that is left to resemble an old form. While humans can flake off their skin, we don’t really see evidence of transformation until a major physical growth occurs.

A child into adult, a drastic hair dye job, death making us seem smaller in size. How do we mark our internal changes?

While traveling blindly, navigating the cord of time- I ask viewers to contemplate change within themselves. Feeling light brushes of soft comfort while moving through a maze unknowingly, your concept of space and time dissolves for a moment and you are able to be with yourself fully, scared or focused- to imagine how you have transformed after such an illuminating year. - Zac Monday
