Statement
To avoid baring all in public when exploring our identity, I hire cultural icons as
surrogates. Woman stands tall, in costume to match our ephemeral castoff triumphs and disasters. And my leitmotif of stripes and patterns sorts well with our binary fabric of certainty and doubt, presence and absence, memory and forgetting.
