what makes a woman...? am i a woman? is it hair and makeup, tits and skin? Mannerisms,
quirks, flutters of lids and puckers of lips? There is an essence to being a woman. Watch any man in drag and he will
display with ease the mannerisms that conform to making a woman a woman in essence. Learned skills, techniques
and expected gestures. Some voluntary others not. But there is more - the emotional context, the changeability... the storm beneath a woman's skin.
unexpected - irrational - a woman changes her mind
new video - Alison Williams performance 5:17min questions of identity and gender
with the word "hallo" as a form of greeting and a form of question.
well go on then - go watch it. it's only me!

by definition women are emotive creatures
what defines us? is it skin - and skin is what keeps the insides in - is it outer packaging? do all women get affected by the moon... are there common traits that link us, apart from "motherhood" and the ability to breed?
a simple thing - an emotional response to life perhaps?
this video seeks to roughly sketch a woman - in that simple instance of saying "hallo". her projection of self and emotion, the underlying depths that make a woman a woman.
a woman as a place to swim - fall into.
as changeable as the wind.
you either love them or you don't. you can either live with them. or you can't.

so this one was interesting for me to make - to stop the urge to do a damn thing to the video. no edit. just a raw take. a one-off... add no visual changes/effects lighting differences etc. just run it as it was... makes it very real i reckon.
