Bodies of Water

September 27, 1-3 PM

This is an offering to drift, pause, and plunge into a shared inquiry of place and process; a phase in an ever evolving project. We invite you to enter the current of unfolding together, between the seen and unseen, and the water nearby. 


A three part journey through the Fairmount Water Works.

HUGE THANK YOU to Karen Young, Director FWW, and the entire Fairmount Water Works staff!

And to Victoria Prizzia for building the bridge that brought us here!


AND the project continues!


The Naked Stark will continue our residency at Fairmount Water Works for another year, developing a full length work and installation in the former Kelly Pool in September 2026! Follow us on instagram and join our mailing list to stay close to our process.

AND if you missed us in May and July…

Our short commissioned work was performed in the Main Exhibit Space in tandem with gallery tours of the Fairmount Water Works art exhibit “CONFLUENCE”, May 3, July 12, and July 26, 2025.
