'Canker', 2012

The Blue Oyster Gallery in Dunedin was the venue for the performance of 'Canker' by Audrey Baldwin during the Dunedin Fringe Festival in March 2012. The naked artist licked her way out of a hexagon constructed with panes of toffee. The performance took two and a half hours and was watched by an audience of around 30 people.
