We Made This

Developed collaboratively with Vanessa Gilbert and Ronald Lewis when given the prompt of “the monsters we create” and directed to work with rope. The three of us quickly settled on the continual production of xenophobes and fascists that this pluralistic society has created. While investigating the seeds that produce such an ugly harvest, we focused on the story of Irish Americans and their journey from oppresed to oppressor, much in the way that a child abuser is often a victim of abuse.
