Forest For The Trees opens today - see me in HOWL ON FLOOR 5!

This incredible and expansive building with 7 floors full of art is open and free to the public today through Sunday. Come catch one of my durational performances for Ruts of Repetition and chat with me!

More info below.

Megan Prince and Amy Funbuttons perform Ruts of Repetition with Prince’s installation Spinning Lines during HOWL on the fifth floor of Forest For The Trees at RailSpur, Seattle, WA. July 21-24, 2022.

Both transparent and solid, Spinning Lines, is a site-specific string installation addressing the circular nature of life while toeing the line between drawing and sculpture. Why is it that we make the same choices and walk the same paths? Sometimes we get stuck and forget we have a choice. The truth comes out in the saying "We are creatures of habit." The seemingly simplistic aesthetic evokes a personal search for each viewer leading toward introspection and our human tendency to repeat ourselves.

Ruts of Repetition (RoR) is a durational performance about the paths we form in our daily lives and how easily we form these patterns and get stuck in them. It takes three repetitions to make a habit but a life time to break one. Adding to my installation, Spinning Lines, RoR will grow and evolve over the next four days.

For HOWL I recreated my site-specific installation, Spinning Lines, with a community of non-binary and female-identifying people and allies. The corresponding durational performance Ruts of Repetition will happen daily. In addition there will be two performance events; during HOWL’S opening reception 7/21 from 5-9pm and closing the show 7/24 from 7-9pm featuring arealists Amy Funbuttons and Rebekah Bastian dancing suspended in the installation for the last hour or until collapse. Visit my videos and perofmance page for more information on Spinning Lines (including process videos). This summer is the 12 year anniversary of Spinning Lines and I am so excited to be revisiting it on the West Coast!

Shout out to our amazing co-collaborator and dancer @bryoncarr who after much hard work has sadly had to step back from this project because of complications with Covid. Thank you for your enthusiasm Bryon. Your willingness to adventure and ask questions with me has made all the difference. Without you this project wouldn’t be what it is, it will be different with out your dancing, but your hand is present though your body is not. Big hugs and healing to you friend!
