Theatre drops and house museums
In a 2018 installation presented by Philadelphia Contemporary, I explored themes of colonialism, opulence, and the futility of overseas American conflicts, and anti-war activists. Through partnerships, I transformed the Lemon Hill mansion into a floor-to-ceiling installation with imageries of past and present, east and west, and war and peace.
Lemon Hill became a space to reflect on activism's role in rectifying history's mistakes and art's power to envision scientific frontiers. My work includes 24 tapestry paintings that unite into one monumental theater backdrop. Dimensions variable. See other images below.
