I’m creating a one-woman, multi-media, visual and performance art show, titled, “Water*Marked.” It is my true story of loss, resilience, and redemption. I perform it live with large photographs printed on flowing fabric panels. It is a work-in-progress about losing 50 years of my original fine art right before a retrospective. It is a life-affirming visual performance about recovery and inspiration. Some of the nine images below were ruined in the flood (as you can see in the colors weeping), others miraculously survived.
