context: ‘dear kuzu’ was a durational weeklong performance wherein i attempted to grow the kudzu vine (an invasive species) in a structure that allowed my foot and the plant to co-exist. daily letters were written, lullabies were sung, and pictures were taken of the plant and I every hour for the duration of the performance, as means to document the piece. the work raises questions about human-plant relationships, what it means to be deemed invasive as both plant and immigrant, and the limits of co-habitation. read the full letters written to kuzu here
