| 关于此艺术家 |
Growing up in communist Czechoslovakia, as the daughter of Holocaust survivors, I learned to mistrust authority and question official doctrines. The current political landscape with the erosion of civil liberties, the misinformation fed to us by our leaders and the manipulation of facts by the media has motivated me to refocus my artistic concerns from exploring my personal history, albeit political, to taking a direct stance on contemporary politics.
I use media, especially the newspaper, as my primary source material. The images and text fragments are processed in a way that parallels political maneuvering (deal making). My work is tactile. Layers of inky marks form the images. The inherent messiness references political corruption, loss of innocence, and encapsulates a specific moment in time. |

Iron
2008 silkscreen on fabric |

Iron is an installation consisting of an ironing board with an iron attached to an automated arm. Each day one white dress shirt is placed on the ironing board. Throughout the course of the day as the iron heats the shirts texts is revealed, commenting on the working conditions of domestic workers and immigration issues relating to women from the 1900’s until the present time. At the end of the eight hours the ironed shirt is removed form the ironing board, hung on the wall and a new shirt is placed on the ironing board so that the cycle continues for the duration of the exhibit.
