Carrie Mae Weems “parades through the world,” looking at people and things very close. Frame a part of your body. Zoom in and notice the details of how that body part looks and moves. Create small movements with that body part that tells your story
Juliana Huxtable celebrates her body. It is a focus in much of her work. Find a light source in your space: a window, a flashlight, a lamp. Move your body in and out of the light. Play with speed and pauses. Create moments to stay in the lightened moments to be in the shadows. What do you want to celebrate, reveal, or hide?
