Artist Statement

Video, Mixed Media and Electronics (2014)

In this work a scale model of a luxurious dinner table built from crystal is deconstructed over time by the amplifi ed sound frequencies of a vintage 70s organ. The work is intended as a critique of class inequality and focuses on how the intimate scale of relationships in our social systems are linked to the deterioration of democratic process.
