Vote with Your Feet

2006 – 2008

Vote with Your Feet employs foot and foot related images to examine where personal space meets the public sphere. The images are realized as templates cut from paper and mounted on stretchers. Being templates – rudimentary tools for reproduction – they suggest some additional action on the part of the viewer. The templates are subsequently combined in display / storage installations.

Walk a Mile in My Shoes

2007

96" x 78" x4"

Eleven cut paper templates resting on ladder hooks and leaning against the wall. The images are taken directly from John Baldessari's Heel of 1986. Baldessari used reproductiions culled from photo archives and film still libraries to suggest that individuality is the Achilles heel of mass consciousness. The borrowed images are rendered as template panels, thus lending them additional reproductive potential.
