SELF-MADE
2016
Solo Exhibition, Oresman Gallery, Smith College
SELF-MADE identified connections between object making, self-making, and the mythic American “self-made man,” queering and questioning the American values of self-reliance, ingenuity, and entrepeneurship. The exhibition juxtaposed new works with selections from past projects, all involving a critical relation to cultural artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries. Works draw on the ideologies and legacies of Winslow Homer, Henry David Thoreau, Dale Carnegie, and more.
