1, 641 kaolin pinch pots have been formed using reclaimed kaolin from the vessels in on, from, within//. The number 1, 641 is derived from calculating an approximate number of days that one could potentially menstruate for in a lifetime. Each of the 1, 641 pinch pots remain bone-dry so as to maintain the integrity of the bath water and oils within them.
1, 641 (-6)
There is no longer a center point; the installation now exists solely as a set of concentric circles pulsing outwards.

During the night of the Opening Reception of Playing Shadow, one of the visitors stepped on the installation of 1, 641, resulting in a loss of six pinch pots. On this night, it was confirmed that I would not bleed for 1, 641 days. In order to adjust, I moved the set of pinch pots that made the center point of the installation over the replace one of the points missing on the edge of the installation.
