'Why Can't I Be You?/Mommy What's a Fetish?'

Fetish; traversing Johannesburg at Priest Espresso Bar, Jan Smuts ave, Johannesburg

It takes me a while to understand what I am doing within an art work. I performed this piece on Thursday 4th and Saturday 6th at Priest Espresso Bar, group show Fetish. Each performance: 2.5 hours of sitting and knitting with filleted garment yarn [wearing a mask knitted from filleted clothing yarn]; knitting with dildos

• sitting with the stories 
• Knitting with dildos - sex as a way of making something visible, bringing something into being
• mask - a way to access liminal spaces

Why Can’t I Be You?

You’re so gorgeous I’ll do anything

I’ll kiss you from your feet

To where your head begins

You’re so perfect you’re so right as rain

You make me

Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible

Everything you do is simply kissable

Why can’t I be you?

I’ll run around in circles

Til I run out of breath

I’ll eat you all up

Or I’ll just hug you to death

You’re so wonderful

Too good to be true

You make me

Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate

Everything you do is quite angelicate

Why can’t I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around

You turn the whole world upside down

I’m smitten I’m Bitten I’m hooked I’m cooked

I’m stuck like glue

You make me

Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy

Everything you do is simply delicious

Why can’t I be you?

Why can’t I be you?

Why can’t I be you?
