Biological Clock

Multimedia Project
Including Installation, Performance & Film

2009-2014

Biological Clock is an extended multi-media series which culminated in a queer feminist-whore insemination gangbang ritual performance on April 30, 2011.

With long-term creative planning and ritualistic intention, I created a sacred scenario specifically to foster conception and pregnancy on my own terms.

In the several hour long ritual gangbang, I created a space of community participation, concentric but fluid roles between audience and performer, and a moment of simultaneously publicly embodying three of my major but socially at-odds identities relating to gender, sexuality and marginalization: community-minded queer performance artist, sex worker, and potential birth parent and mother.

I tracked my own reproductive cycle for over a year, planted seeds weekly as a practice of generative routine, and sought out partners for “fisting training” to encourage my body to stretch beyond its previous capabilities as a preemptive measure to ease labor.

I enlisted artists who’ve touched my life to modify clocks representing various chronologies with which I interact, flow, and struggle.
