Fierce Attachment (Childproof) is a destruction performance in which Clifford destroys items meant to keep a baby safe.

Interior Scroll (C*nt) is a reimagining of Carolee Schneemann’s seminal work Interior Scroll (1975 and 1977, in East Hampton and Telluride, respectively, in which Schneemann read a scroll from her vagina) with new text by Clifford.
