Spangled was performed July 4, 2018 for Post gallery in downtown Los Angeles.
Using a half block of Maple Avenue from corner to alley as runway, I placed roadside flares, sprayed the sidewalk with coke, then sprinkled red and blue glitter, before donning white gloves, lying down on the sidewalk in pristine white clothing, heels and blond wig, and proceeding to roll ceremoniously for one hundred and forty feet.
In addition to being a ritual connecting the world above with the world below albeit through a rough pop Evel Knievel/ Cher meets skidrow aesthetic, Spangled might be seen as a riff on the quintessential LA story of the unknown who becomes a star who then falls into obscurity or ruin, as well as a corrective for paranoid American consumerist mythology.
