Current Project
Next year, I intend to keep working on my project "From Private House to Public Home: Domestic Politics in the Twenty-First Century." I will keep creating sculptures that address domestic politics and the ideological shifts since September 11, 2001. These sculptures combine domestic items with materials such as camouflage fabric and hardware. They underline the ways in which war has become an acceptable backdrop while citizens are pushed to be evermore obedient and unquestioning. In addition to creating this new body of work, I will try to find a venue to exhibit it.
