I DREAMT I WAS A SUFFRAGETTE

DUNCE 1
2006, Miedzynarodowy Festiwal, International Performance Art Festival, Warsaw, Poland I told stories about my Grandmother while wearing a dunce cap and ironing my clothes. After I had put on my ironed clothes, I sat at a chair and painted the dunce cap while it was on my head to look like a stagnant American flag.
