Long Doll is a 14 foot doll. She appeared to me as a transitional object between language and movement. In action, the doll operates within a currency of under-articulation: chancing upon references to symbolic writing while tumbling through an unpredictable alphabet of metamorphic forms. Duration and force are the only parameters of this mark making. The Long Doll throws are ephemeral markings, legible in motion but lost in notation.

The following works were performed as interventions with no predetermined time or date and no invited public. The throws were never repeated after 2004. The doll was destroyed as the result of a house fire in 2005.
