Diana Takes a Swim (2013)

Diana is a “swim” into the female collective unconscious and strives to provoke ‘altered states of being’ in both the performer and audience. The 30-ft dress functions as Diana’s apparatus to shapeshift through various feminine characters and archetypes.

By choosing how her body is hidden or revealed, Diana questions who has the power of gaze: Is it her? The observer? And as she watches the observer(s) watching her, does this power shift?
