Yawn copper wire and approx. 2,400 nameless dog tags 59x79 SOLD
An installation I did for the Almost Famous group show at Reynolds Gallery that is up until July 12th.
This is a continuation of the ...Over project that I've been working on. While looking at photos of my last installation, I started to notice a formal connection to the shimmering quality of the steel dog tags and the chaotic dance of television static. I've also been thinking about the way we interact with war secondhand as American television/internet audience members. So this piece became an attempt to address the mediation of war and what I have seen as the overall American reaction to it - tuned out and bored with it. The proportions and shape of this piece reference television sets from the 60's, which alludes to the legacy of providing the American public with a filtered and stripped down version of what American wars are like.
