"On the occasion of my 27th birthday I decided to do a tape that chronicled my passage through time. I have always been clumsy, tripping, dropping, falling with alarming regularity. This tape accepts the extent of the consequences." L.S.

I found this one interesting in that it's meaning grew as she described each "scar" on her body.

I myself found the passage of time and the pace challenging. We are so used to more "jolts per minute".

One common characteristic of the first works is the establishment of a counter, or lack of "process" that simplifies and at the same time seems to make these works more challenging.
