Describing the physical space of the studio I was given for a year, I used my aging body to echo the worn planks of the floor and other architectural details of the old building.  My outstretched arms defined my creative space as I rotated around the perimeter projecting onto photographs of an aged body, sculptures hanging of cut-out X-rays, and several inflated balloons.  To enter the space the audience walked through a five by five feet “house” built of X-rays.
