aluminum, glass, human breast milk butter
My six-year-old son was obsessed with volcanoes ever since he left the breast. My theory was that volcanoes were just a substitute until he got into junior high when he can be interested in breasts again. It’s a 1950’s mad-scientist-style look at the human vessel.
Premiered in Dadayou Dadahou at Houston’s ArtScan Gallery in September 1999 where it was reviewed in the December 1999 issue of ArtNews. In April 2000 it was selected by Sara Kellner (director of DiverseWorks, Houston) Carla Stellweg (director of Blue Star Art Space, San Antonio) and Chris Cowden (director of Women and Their Work, Austin) for the Dallas Visual Arts Center’s 2000 Critic’s Choice exhibition.
