Erin Rickard, 'Practicalities of being a woman Part 3', Video Projection, September 2008. Each of the performances has a beginning and an end. The hands express the tension and determination she is experiencing. This drama entices the audience to stay, they each adopt her determination and begin to individually need the satisfaction of the completed task. 

Erin Rickard, 'Practicalities of being a woman Part 3', Video Projection, September 2008. This resulted in Rickard producing a series of 8 video projections. Each showing what she considers the practicality behind her outward identity as a woman. The videos create a sense of irritation in the audience, a desire to intervene and complete the task for her is rejected through simple impossibility.

Through a personal struggle with her own identity, Erin Rickard went through various tasks of recreation, becoming closer to her femininity seemed important. Weeks passed and Rickard became aware that the physical identity made it difficult for her to perform daily routines, her ability to exist as a functioning individual decreased.

Erin Rickard, 'Reflection', Video Projection, Mirror, October 2008. Installation view on entrance into the space, a dark room with a single light in the far corner. To interact would mean to venture into an intimate area, somewhere that is physically closed off. The character continues to examine her own physical scars and starts the struggle of acceptance or rejection of what she has done.
