La Dauphine: The creature rises from the sea, 2006
Character enactments for the video of the same name. During a residency, I worked with Daniel Dugas and a community of residents, in Vallauris, France to create the myth of La Dauphine, a creature from the sea. I stood in for many of the costumed appearances for the main character. The photographs were shown at the A.I.R. Vallauris Gallery during the residency. These photographs show the persona I took on.
