i know it's much too early in the game
to wish you were here,
with me,
running my hand
through your hair
and pointing over there
to show you something nice.
oh watermelon eyes,
i know there shouldn't be but
there is a crush growing
larger and larger
and curling up in my mind.
can you tell me if
the rivets on your chest
(from your ribcage)
collects water when it rains?

S H E L L S- AOAKE
This is the end of the performance Shells performed by Hana Aoake, and Glue Gallery in Dunedin. At the start of the performance when we entered the space, we found her lying under a sheet surrounded by egg shells. The audience was invited to stand on, and crush the egg shells. Every time someone did, Aoake writhed under the sheet like the sound was enough to twist all her nerve endings.
The reason I really loved this performance is because the audience wasn't forced into participating. If you wanted to, you could crush the shells and watch her reaction, but you didn't have to. I did. It was like by doing it you had absolute control over her. It was enthralling, all consuming and made you feel like you had physically hurt her, not just crushed an egg shell. By allowing the audience to decide whether or not to participate, Aoake created a safe space to - in effect - hurt her. It was allowed and it was accepted. It was a beautiful abstraction of domestic violence - literally walking on egg shells.
It was a beautiful, well considered and very classical performance I enjoyed thoroughly. It was rad!!!

and i want to hold your hand
late at night
when a dog barks and scares me
and yea.

i tink you are
real cool and
very cuddley and our
bodies fit like
grass in the ground

i tink we could
be the best of lovers
and spend hours under covers
and blanket forts of
pink flowers knitted together with silk

i tink i am
slowly and carefully
spinning downward in a curve
to curl inside your bones
(maybe)

and slightly pink/beige
and mostly the colour of daisies
(coz of u)

i tink i am
not taking things slowly enough
but it is enough for me
and i don't mind if things don't work out.
