Forward two, back one.





I started at the bottom of the stairwell by the ceramics department and walked up two steps then back one in a rythmic motion for three hours long. While performing this piece I was able keep myself in a repetative beat helping me to stay focused on what I was doing as I climbed the stairs up and down 18 times over three hours. This endurance piece was particularly special to me because it reminded me of my past accomplishments and failures and how in life you seem to take two steps forward and a step backward in everything you do. Reaching the top of the five flights of stairs was a great feeling, just like living life as though it should be one step at a time.
