When you get right down to it, we are not just the some of our parts and what makes us individuals. We are in fact, the result of the efforts of those who came before us; and for a woman this is most important.

On stage her voice, projection of intent, and body language showed the actions of a novice. 30 seconds into it and the crowd became annoyed and agitated; the tension became so thick you could cut it with a butter knife.
Patek seemed on the verge of a breakdown - babbling about what she wanted to do with her life, being dumped by her boyfriend, finding solace in a stuffed, faceless effigy to project ones sickness and suffering on. Then all of a sudden, she took control of herself and the audience. Anger crept into her eyes and voice as she began talking about her boyfriend mailing her panties back to her.
The audience was now totally in her power,
realizing the method to her madness, and clearly taken with sensuous nature of the act. It was wicked and wild.

Patek certainly is a talented young woman taking after (in her way) many others who broke with the notion of a female artist needing to be "a lady" in all things (Lynda Benglis, Vanessa Beecroft), especially her creativity.
