This performance artwork was based on the word "balance" because my partner, Cherry and I decided that was the word that most aptly described both of our previous artworks for the semester. 

​

The live aspect of performance art was daunting, so was the time constraint of one minute.

Both of these things were discussed when devising our performance, Cherry and I decided to count the seconds of the minute together during the performance. 

Originally we gave eachother 5 seconds per person per object but that proved to be a redundant method of timekeeping. 

​

We balanced many found objects in a stack until eventually it fell. This was an act of collaboration, trust and patience. 

​

I was heavily aware of the viewers gaze throughout the art making process, in a way that I felt constricted an rushed in my performance. However, the live aspect of this artwork did achieve a genuinely spontaneous and ephemeral artwork, which are themes I already explore in my artwork. 

Therefore live art performance could be a method I use to creating genuinely improvised and organic art.
