40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS, 10in.x13in. each, individually mounted, mixed media
40 Days and 40 Nights is a personal reflection on the highly explosive topic of Christian dogma and how it intersects with contemporary America's search for meaning. Comprised of 40 crosses and informed by a spotty religious education, this work looks at the dilemma.

40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS, installation view
The cross is an icon with far reaching implications. It can provide a source of guidance and comfort for some while defending political policy for others. Cultural notions of good and evil, heaven and hell, and even reproductive and lifestyle choices are evoked by this symbol.
