hope that you enjoy the show

installation including photographs, video works, found hobbycraft pieces and text-based work, 2011


the bayou is drenched with fog and light. power reaches into the very grain of the tourist, touching their body and inserting itself into their actions and attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday life. angola prison is wedded to the experience of looking, creating a sense of its permanence as an institution. this work offers a spatialized meditation on incarceration and its place in the american imagination.
