In 2016 Livermore was in between two worlds. After a year living in China he had six months to prepare to move to Paris, France for an art residency program with Transform Creative. During this period of transition he collaborated with Lee Lassiter on a creative exploration of the language acquisition process.

In sometimes 我说 un peu de français Livermore created a chalkboard where he transcribed key words from this mash-up sentence in Mandarin, French, and English. These transcriptions varied based on his level of comprehension for each language.

In the Spring of 2020 Livermore attended an online language invention workshop through Abrons Art Center that was facilitated by Nate Flagg.

Livermore created a language based on their observations of light and shadow on long walks around their suburban neighborhood.

In 2022 Livermore performed a piece that demonstrated the psychological toll of his childhood practice of memorizing scripture. He was taught to hide god’s word in his heart so that they might not sin against him (Psalm 119:11). He took this verse very literally.

Romans 8 was a passage that Livermore looked to for comfort as a child. As he read it again for the first time in almost five years, he was filled with anger. The passage was meant to relieve fear of spiritual condemnation but this time Livermore realized a large portion of the text was a list of warnings he told himself about his body — the flesh.

In front of an audience Livermore repeated eleven of the thirty nine verses from memory. Like a staircase he built the scene – the first verse, the first and the second, until they were stacked one on top of the other. Then he faltered, repeated – those who live in accordance with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Until he sputtered out–  the mind set on the flesh is death. Again and again, as fast as he could – slurred; lit in the hue of projector blue, body cast backward into infinity – mise en abyme.
