"Color Me, Beautiful" Mixed Installation


Collage is the vehicle in which I explore social and cultural conceptions of identity. Through direct appropriation from a variety of sources, including health manuals, child rearing texts, how-to and vintage children’s coloring books as well as found photographs, I construct evocative and often humorous juxtapositions of text and image in order to illuminate our society's reactionary and often ridiculous relation to identity stereotypes.
