My latest installation SHOE STORE at the Abrons Art Center, NYC, included pumps, loafers, hand bags made from oak tag, all in a gel-thickened acrylic environment, embellished with icing like squiggles in mouthwatering colors. There's even a chair to sit on while you find a fit. Is it a chair or a cake?" I would to challenge viewers notion of everyday objects and activities."
