LIA CHAVEZ completed a concentrated 90-day performance from September to Decem- ber 2012. This project, True Light, involved a 90-day fast, integrating 30 days of prayer, followed by 30 days of meditation, followed by 30 days of silence. Over the course of the performance, her daily rituals and insights were utilized to generate a varied body of work: the New York based artist observed 9/11 with a public performance, HEAL US/HEAL U.S.; her prayers for “healing and unity in the world of art” are documented in Dynamic Images; and the theme of healing and unity is continued in Material Dispersion, with daily blessings gifted to influential persons in the art world.
