Artist Kathryn Ashill recently performed a work in New York inviting visitors to throw lumps of polished amethyst at her.<\/p>\n

\n

Most people were trying to miss or were being polite about it. I was surprised, I thought a New York audience would be quite bolshy and well-versed in participating in performance art.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The work is part of her series For Future Reference<\/a>, a response to what a psychic said to her in 2007: “you’ll never be a mother, you’re too selfish.” Though the series is personal, Ashill seeks audience participation in all her works:<\/p>\n
