VIDEO-PERFORMANCE NUE DE CHERIE SAMPSON

This video-performance was created in February, 2008 in rural Missouri in the U.S. by a partially frozen river. Alluding to an experience of becoming, the edge of attainment and passing, the figure is a metaphor for this eternal cycle in human life, nature and the cosmos. Evocative of the movement style of Japanese Butoh and other forms of ritual dance, I have focused on no singular technique for my performance work -- it emerges as a sensory, bodily and spiritual response to the immediate environment.
