Wordcage
"Wordcage" life-sized, 40”x 18”x 23,” fired clay
Private collection: Dallas, TX USA
"Wordcage" contains words, poems and stories people have written or said about me, demonstrating in physical form the way words can constrain or confine. The ribbons of text also contain what I call "sticky words" which are casual, off-the-cuff comments people say that somehow stick in our minds, resurfacing in moments when we are feeling vulnerable.
