Work [And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves]

This solo art exhibition was presented at the Beverly Perdue Art Gallery at Bridgewater College from October 5, 2022 to November 2, 2022.

Through my works, I investigate systems. Employing new and worn materials from manufacturing, agricultural, and cultural spaces, I question our desire to define ourselves. Cogs turn to no avail, old money falls to the floor to be discarded by a janitor, a vending machine spits out a golden, yet useless ticket. These works propose instead that identity is not something to be defined, but rather a fluctuating response to experiences and relationships at any moment in time.
