“Banana, I love you” is a performance about the difficulties of managing a polyamory relationship.   For the past 17 years I had been involved in a love relationship with two men - my husband and boyfriend.    We are not a threesome,I alone had relationships with both parties.  Although there have been many positive experiences to this dynamic, there have been challenges.  

This performance is a spoken word presentation while I paint bananas on paper and canvas.  I chose the banana because when I first met my husband he wrote “I love you” on a banana.  The relationship with my boyfriend is over and we are no longer a significant couple.  I understand now the priority I have for my marriage but recognize it’s limitations.  The audience participation is of utmost importance to the content of work.  I spontaneously presented this work at the Tryst alternative art fair in LA, October 2023 to groups of people as they exited the elevator onto one of the floors of the art fair.
