Dear Sun, Thank you. 2020 Still shot by Badir McCleary from drone performance
This work is
from a series called, "Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Aether" Each drone
performance focuses on one of the elements of Nature. Badir and I have
completed "Earth", "Fire" and "Water" in the series so far.
"Dear
Sun, Thank You" focuses on the healing power of the sun and is the element of Fire. I have lived
with the debilitating effects of Lyme Disease since 1991. When I moved
to Los Angeles from the East Coast, my suffering eased from being in the
warm, dry and sunny climate.
These
works would not be possible without Badir's talented filmmaking. During
lockdown, I was looking for ways to transcend the boundaries of the
stay at home order. Badir's drone work from the BLM protests inspired my
idea of drone performances. We are equal artists on this project
