Tender Picking, was presented at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn, NY in 2017. TP is an performative installation that celebrates metabolism as an act of wanton love. A radio-style drama, performed  by  Theresa Columbus  and  Tracie Jiggetts, chaperon participants through the fits and starts of an unexpected romance via a dual channel headset. All the while participants pick and consume the carcass of a freshly steamed Blue Crab, and it is the simultaneity of this action that invites the viewer into the all-consuming affection between the diner and the dined.
