Products - 2013/'14

I began getting ideas for this series while I was working on my previous series in the summer of 2013. I started working on the series September of 2013 as I embarked on my second residency. The main theme of the body work is people being a product of their environment, versus their environment being a product of them. The ideas that I had for this series were further exemplified by my current living situation and environment at the time of its inception. The entirety of the series “Products” is comprised of acrylic, oil, aerosol, and laquer paint over epoxy resin that is laid over repurposed oak and pine wood sourced from abandoned and decaying houses from within Detroit city limits.
