As a performance artist, I want to take everyday activities beyond their usual significance, inserting a sense of play. Participants become instant co-authors of the artwork, allowing direct interaction between artist and participants. Power Tattoo will be a sidewalk performance where passersby are invited to receive a temporary "power tattoo."
