<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white">This durational performance installation is born from automatic writings recorded on a wall in artist Ray Caspio¡¯s studio during their 18-month pandemic lockdown.
Undoing, unraveling, shedding the veneer, the cocoon, built around all that they are. A transmutation of sexuality. An autobiography in dream. A communal incantation brought to life through homoerotic paintings, text, audio, video, photography, and what the
space inspires you to leave behind. Ray¡¯s shapeshifting presence is the nexus of this explorable, living art experience. The performance and space are an ongoing intuitive painting influenced by who and what is present, and the societal moment we find ourselves
in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
