The Leak






This is my newest piece. It is about the concept of the color pink. It mostly looks like a tragic menstrual disaster. This is a passageway. This is about the fear of the feminization of space and architecture. I am creating more intimate architecture that imitates or references the female body/experience and making it's animation and structure reliant on the room it exists in. Its kind of a demented wreath situation, like a wreath that blew up and went three dimensional and wasn't like "welcome to the space" but was more "welcome to the world through this birth canal." "The Leak" Muslin, potato dextrin, dye on iron rings.

I am also very drawn to the relationship of the body to the things that bodies interact with or within and the relationship between those things. For me blankets have become a type of architecture, and beds are a very intimate type of architecture, in concept and in practice. Quilt (I need a better name for this) 65...
