Crystal Tassels
This performance combines many aspects of my personality (e.g. meowing, desire to be pet, tendency to lick things) with a life-long dream. Days spent sleeping, nights spent sprinting from one end of the house to the other, and no one angry when I casually nudge breakable objects off the coffee table. What a beautiful way to spend an evening! (PHoto by Mandy Flame.)
