SHOW/TELL by Christine Shan Shan Hou

In an effort to represent diverse processes and means of reflection, Critical Correspondence asked poet and artist Christine Shan Shan Hou to submit responses to the work she is seeing according to her own creative practices.  This is part of our ongoing interest in soliciting alternative materials from the performance community highlighting the intrinsically subjective nature of creation and observation. This page will be updated often as a series in as many parts as can herein be contained.
