Look! She has her eyes wide open is a performance about life choices made in the name of art. It both commemorates and celebrates the 18th birthday of a decision made in order to be an artist. Mixing metaphors of birthing, aborting, and creativity, the performer uses slapstick and rhythmic phrasing to embroil the audience into their own collective decision.
Shona Macnaughton is a performance artist, she makes live events based on artefacts from alternative political life from the past as a monstered version of her artist self. Shona has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, theatres, gig venues, clubs, dives, virtually and on the street.
