Inok Kalkwarf's Performance Portfolio

My installations are based upon my memories and upon cultural symbols which represent important aspects of my life. It is my hope that people will take the experience I put into an installation and relate it to their own lives. All of the installation work is hand-sewn because I want to recreate the cultural meaning behind the finished form. The act of creation then becomes a part of the creation itself. It is a way for me to meditate on the cultural symbols and their meaning in our lives.

“Bridal Runway” #4 55” x 14” x 2” Matting, colored pins

There are four sections to this piece. As any bride walks along it, there will be a price to pay in pain. Also, the steps of the bride change the piece. It is never the same after the performance. I walk on it in the performance.
