Happy spring, everyone!!!

this entry is in honor of a friend, annabel. (yes, she's alive)

Photographed here, is an object from an installation I'm currently working on. Materials used are cardboard paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, and glue. The tapestry behind it was found. Or.... maybe I was lost and now I'm found. By this beautiful beautiful piece of fabric. (the tapestry is not part of this piece- it's just temporarily being used as a protective ground or base)

The following are some photos of things you are probably thinking about:

(I don't think I need to supply you with details of what this is. It's pretty recognizable.
But to any of you new to this planet, this image is of a chain-linked fence.)

(Beef Tripe- a delicacy)(cow stomach- i think?)

Untitled (Camouflage) 2009

collage on paper bag

The images used are from the Imperial War Museum. I gathered various clippings from 
World War I and US Military magazines. 
My goal in this piece was to display a repetitive nature in costumes.
In this series I will relate people in different institutions to their clothing.
 This piece definitely strives to prevail a sense of place, or more the loyalty to a location by illustrating the importance of the uniform and how it functions to visibly group certain people with a common purpose.

The monument shown here is an icon that served for worship behavior on Remembrance Day. Photography was from the ceremony that was shared on November 11th, 1918, a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war.
