Wall Installation

Finally finished the centerpiece of my work for Artist Multiples.

8' x 4' Luon board with my A.B. Dick postcards manipulated and applied to the surface.

Also includes nails, yarn, photographs, and watercolor paint.

The subject matter surrounds the breakdown of family farms, especially the deterioration of family farms in Western New York, due to industrial farming. Through my research into the topic I found out about irrigation circles, which are used by industrial farms to create fertile farming areas in unnatural environments that would normally be inhospitable to crops. The circles on my wall reference aerial views of industrial irrigation circles. The small photos inside of the "frames" are photographs that I have taken around Western New York of small family farms, focusing on the areas where deterioration is most evident.

Everybody Does It

Four rolls of toilet paper, 9 feet of which were screenprinted on with various foods I eat.

Installed in four stalls in a public bathroom in Harder Hall.
