Areas of Specialization: Recording the ephemera of daily life, domestic labor, class and social practice
I have stumbled through the world thinking deeply about all the things I thought were root causes of inequality. I stuck very hard on education. I realized that creative activities that question the fundamental notions of art, IS ART IN ITSELF. Making art with people is art. But becoming a mother made me realize how lacking our culture is in support for people, all living things. In a basic way, our society says if you can't figure it out, all the bureaucratic labyrinths to keep yourself alive, then you can die under an underpass. Our culture doesn't support mothers or parents, care in general is very inconvenient to a capitalistic value structure and child care is wholly undervalued. The work I make now is about revering this relationship, enshrining the fleeting moments that it is made up of, and celebrating the whimsical banality of parenting and care that has been put aside as somehow less important than other things in our culture.
