Grocery Store Checkout Divider, 2019
Fuse works Edition

Over the last year I've been working with Fuse Works to create an edition that builds on my Open Doors, Open Borders multiple from last year. This edition, takes the standard divider used in grocery stores around the US and turns it into a political object reading No Separation, Shared Area, Don't Divide and Make Space. 

The are 10 signed and numbered compete sets, and 15 of each of them individually for sale.

Open Doors, Open Borders, 2018

This multiple was created in response to the Trump administration travel ban. I found myself struggling with how to respond as an artist. This led to the Open Doors/Open Borders doorstop which says "Open Doors" on one side and "Open Borders" on the other. Through the gesture of simply propping open a door, this piece evokes a broader significance with regard to the ban.

Half of the proceeds of each sale are donated to Exodus Refugee in Indianapolis which works on resettling refugees in the state. I have been able to donate $600 since the project started.
