Artist Statement – “Following the market crash of 2008 I began several collage series using receipts and windowed envelopes as the establishing groundwork to extract poetry from discard, ‘Reciprocal City,’ ‘Sunshinelaw’, and the ongoing series ‘Reciprocity.” The next phase of this inquiry, entitled ‘Woman Receipt’, narrows the focus to women’s place in the market, as consumer, commodity, as gift. Marx’s shocking oversight of women as key component in providing and maintaining our work force, in the institution of marriage, in motherhood, and women as caregiver. I am honored to begin this journey in residence this spring at Theaterlab, to accomplish further research and to begin the first physical collage forms of this series.
