Dispossession
Site specific installation at the Bellevue Art Museum
“Dispossession” is based on objects found/taken/lost in the border crossing between the US and Mexico. Although that imagery is the specific inspiration, it is meant to evoke dispossession in general- objects lost, discarded, and forgotten through uncertainty and turmoil.
When researching the project I was moved by the region’s tradition of roadside shrines spontaneously created to memorialize the dead and missing. In response, I have created my own memorial which offers water for the crossing and a tribute to the hardships of the journey.

“Free Print” Exchange, de Young Museum, San Francisco, CA, 2017
For this portion of the project, I invited visitors to take a print, make a print, or leave a print- however they chose to participate. For those who wanted to participate, I then showed them the screenprint process and had them create a print. This collaboration was part of a “free” print store inspired by the San Francisco group the Diggers and their various free stores which worked on a barter or gift economy. Altogether I had 2,473 visitors and collaborated/gave away ~2,700 prints
