Altar

Video + Mixed Media @ The Annexe Gallery

 This piece is supposed to be diagramatic. I drew inspiration from the Rube Goldberg-esque quality of Duchamp's Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors and the crassness of medical infographics seen at education fair.

One mouth is full of insects, the other full of shells. There are coins attached to where the eyes are supposed to be. As the video is played, ticking sounds can be heard. The scissor-part on the timepiece jerks ever so slightly, seemingly suspended in time.

The baby, wrapped up and and laid by the sea.

Thanks to Kari and Yin for assitance on this project/
