Body Paint Performance by Trina Merry

Trina Merry works in body paint. Her surface is living, breathing human beings. Her work is temporary and begins to change into another work as soon as she stops painting, changing texture and color. So when Merry was invited to create an “intervention” for the exhibition Momentum: an experiment in the unexpected, she chose to respond to the work of Andy Goldsworthy: Goldsworthy’s process is also temporal in nature. 

Merry’s intervention will coincide with the installation of Goldsworthy’s Burnt Patch, 1995. As the crew assembles Goldsworthy’s work in SJMA’s courtyard, Merry will create two responses with fifteen nude, body-painted models.
