STATEMENT
I focus on the fine line between the ‘allowable’ and the ‘intolerable’. My current work Halter-Top Society is a reflection on every day occurrences, uncensored and often unnoticed by the eye. They reoccur in a specific time and are peculiar to a specific place. They are tolerated merely because they occur :
In the trendy shopping area a promenading young woman, in her sexy halter top, intensely scans window displays while homeless pregnant girl sleeps under the street post of a busy intersection; In the restroom of an expensive department store, a destitute woman in her fifties wrapped in a pink plastic bag performs her morning make-up ritual; In the elegant downtown business district, a person dressed to the tee (black suit, white shirt) polishes the outside of the garbage can; In the city park a boy, intelligent and clean asks for money: “no spick English no gas”; At 7:55AM in the front of a major city plaza, a strong scent floral, emanates from a regiment of saluting portable outhouses.
