The subjective experience of the performance
The experience of performing eyeless was exposed and sensitive. My hands moved before me so so slowly, moving my body and head in gentle sweeping movements, 'seeing' the space with my fingers. I stood still at intervals and unbuttoned my shirt revealing the eyes on my breasts 'looking back'. These were the most difficult moments, I feld exquisitely uncomfortable, unknowing whether this gesture was appropriate in the situation – not knowing if I was facing a wall or in close proximity to viewers. There was a sense of my being 'flowing out' in doing this gesture, I felt foresaken!

I needed to refresh my courage with regular breaks, I needed to stop. Rest, renew my committment to continue the piece. It took resolve. I made an act of faith by stepping out into the void and following my instinct while letting others guide me, direct me in a loose way. A woman on the stairs shouted – 'stay back, there is a BLIND woman coming, SHE IS BLIND'. Her voice was convinced and protective. All thepeople I encountered were receptive as I touched them or spoke with them, people also told me revealing stories (perhaps because I couldn't see, I could make no visual judgement of them).

There was a pleasure in the act of surrender onto others, I felt like I was offering myself in a loving gesture. The vulnerability, openness and trust resonated with others, there were relationships established as a result of this act, an exchange happened.
