Spindle 7, 2009.

Spindle 7 was a durational performance on the #7 train in Queens, NY, in which I taught riders to spin wool as we traveled to and from Manhattan over the course of three months.

Based on the premise that every culture has a history of spinning, I used it as a way of creating a sense of unity on the train, which has been dubbed “The International Express”.  A seven-minute video of the project was made to document my many encounters.
