Attempted Efforts of a Gentle Woman
Medium: Single Channel Video - 3 minutes 49 seconds, Archival Pigment Print
In an effort to expand the possibilities of learning and unlearning, The Attempted Efforts of a Gentle Woman unfolds through both photography and video. This work is rooted in what it means to inhabit a body. They simultaneously create space for questions, peculiarities, and slow, attentive observation.
The video documents a staged visual and auditory journey of reclaiming domesticity, an act born both from inherited tendencies toward order and a felt, spiritual practice: a self-declared way to move energy, reset, and repeat.
The photographs glimpse at (often failed) domestic attempts: cleaning, cooking, providing beauty, softness. Trying.
