The following installations are created with minimal time and very low budgets.   Besides the paintings, which I create ahead of time, the supporting props are often found objects. In addition, curtains and fabrics from friends; bowls and plates from their kitchens; rocks and branches from the nearby river...   Due to dance floor restrictions, the installations are erected in 1 hour or less. They also are set up for the first time - there is never a dress rehearsal. The unknown creative obstacles, I encounter every time, are often hair-raising yet are part of the overall solution. The visual uncertainty is part of the adventure.
