ABSOLUTION

The participants of Absolution were given beer in exchange for their sins. The beer represented Christ's urine, meant to dissolve their sins. Then a prayer was said using the lyrics of a popular song. This piece was part of Performance Art Workshop facilitated by Julia Wallace at The Jenner House in Houston. March 2011

"DRINK BUD LIGHT LIME"

REVIVAL

This piece involved reciting a poem composed of modified text from The Book of Revelations while ripping pages off the book. The participants were first coached to achieve an enthusiastic mood as they created a crop circle on the grass, then they were invited to repeat the last part of the poem in a prayerly fashion.

Followers/Participants: Emily Sloan, Hilary Scullane, Sway Youngston, Julia Wallace, Bryce Galbraithr and Rico Svaughn.
