Woven Paper Wigs

Portland, OR: Scantron Press, 2010. Limited Edition. Fine. Limited Edition. "The wigs were exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery in 1999. Then exhibited at the Frumkin/Duval Gallery in Santa Monica in 2000, in Names Will Never Hurt Me, at the Rock Creek Gallery at Portland Community College in 2002, in Sticks and Stones at California State University, Stanislaus in 2003, in Language As My Witness, at the Hoffman Gallery at Oregon College of Art & Craft in 2004, and in (Ex)Change at The Bush Barn in Salem in 2015.
The paper wig series continues to investigate language, broadening the scope of degrading and offensive terms to include words of hatred and violence. Printed in red, white, and blue ink are tiny racist words whose mere existence is testimony to society's intolerance towards difference." [Artist statement]
