Portfolio > Equipped Exhibition 2008

This body of work explores ideas of emotional strength, aging, comfort and protection. The pieces in this installation are meant to be open ended in the sense of the viewer’s perception of meaning. Many of these objects are inspired from the mail order catalogs that my grandmother kept near her recliner such as “Old Pueblo Traders” and “Dr. Leonard’s”. I have become increasingly interested in the products that these catalogs have to offer, especially those, which aid in making life easier and more comfortable.
