Who’s Your Daddy? is based on a private performance at a sperm donation clinic in response to the overwhelming heterosexist nature of the facility.  

During my final donation for two friends, I video recorded myself (with my fave cut out of frame), burned a DVD, and left it as the only copy in the room’s player for the next donor. I subsequently deleted the video from my computer so that the anonymous DVD left in the room would be the only copy. 

Exhibition of the work features only casual photos, taken on my smartphone,  detailing the setting.
