I need do nothing.
"I wanna dance with somebody" - Whitney Houston
An interactive sculptural object inspired by the butterfly hair removal thread mechanism. This mesmerizing machine is a dancing, kinetic sculpture that gently hypnotizes the object of your affection and plays with the theme of the divine feminine.
Part of the creative process is concerned with making a series of kinetic devices that investigate humour, nonsense and futility.
Dimensions: 6x6xH17”

About Every Woman Biennale: The EVERY WOMAN BIENNIAL is the all woman and women-identified art biennial founded and curated by C. Finley. What began as the Whitney Houston Biennial, a wild one-night event of art and performance celebrating women in 2014, and expanded to a two-week exhibition in 2017 in the awakening of the #MeToo movement, will present its third iteration, titled Every Woman Biennial, from May 20 - May 29 in NY, and a sister biennial featuring LA-based artists June 2 - 12 in LA.
