LOOK MAMA I’M IN MOMA

& WE MET AT THE MET SERIES

This series has a direct physical link to my previous work as small samples cut out from paintings produced in 2009-2010 (as part of the Anonymous Women series) have been re-purposed into each of the individual pieces in this series. These small samples have been physically embedded within photos taken by me of the interior of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum. The work is presented between two plexiglass panels so the viewer can see both the front and the back of the piece -- revealing the size and nature of the original embedded painting.

The Series examines notions of the value of art, the aesthetics of mid-twentieth century Modernism as well ideas about fame and notoriety. In addition, the work is a visual play on scale and context and reinforces the theme of repurposing and recycling that is a central aspect of my current work.
