In my last semester of art school I built and performed in my Metal Skirt Sound Sculpture,

a landmark piece in my career because it worked on many levels. It was funny and provocative,

and produced simultaneous rising and falling glissandos simply through the mechanics of

walking. Four guitar strings were attached to the edges of the skirt that extended down to the

toes and heels of my shoes. As each leg stepped forward, the back string stretched out while the

front slackened. A contact microphone on the skirt amplified the sound of these strings through

a small battery-powered amplifier that I wore strapped over my shoulder as a handbag. The

restriction of the metal construction mechanized and exaggerated the sway of my hip motion. I

looked like a cartoon cutout wearing armor. I walked on the street where the prostitutes worked

and called my performance, literally, Streetwalker.
