May and June work






                                             Gross Domestic Product #3





                                             Gross Domestic Product #4



                                                    Corporations Are People


     The apron project (Gross Domestic Product) is an attempt  to present my ideas about American culture as this divided, schizophrenic structure where beliefs about American identity don't match the evidence. The transparent fabric reflects on the idea of something veiled but not  really hidden. The apron has domestic associations and the sheer  fabric suggests a sexual component. I am drawing attention to the disconnect between the image of domestic bliss and the underlying violence in American homes.

     Corporations Are People is a series of "voodoo dolls" that represent corporations. The piece reflects upon my anger about corporate greed and its negative influence on American society.
