JUNE, 2009, installation view
An 8ft.x10ft. carpet made of eggshells depicts the actress Barbara Billingsley's publicity photograph as June Cleaver. The subject of this installation is the shattering of a myth. Accompanied by a vacuum cleaner, June is at once an homage and a good-riddance to the idealized American family and the difficult and delicate tasks many women perform in the service of an impossible and outdated model.

Television is a medium that both reflects our society and influences it, making June Cleaver's image oddly suited for this project. Following the conclusion of the original 234 Leave it to Beaver episodes in 1963, reruns have aired continuously all over the world.

Eggshells as part of a sculptural vocabulary are tied to gender politics and the conditioned expectations of women. Quite ironically, the physical undertaking of this project involved laborious tasks uncannily similar to duties in the home.
