MOO-D
2021-2022
I grew up in the countryside of Central Pennsylvania where there are a lot of stigmas surrounding the idea of the city. In contrast, I have lived in Pittsburgh, PA and am currently living in Philadelphia, PA. In both Pennsylvania cities, there is a lot of generalization that happens when considering the rural. I’m interested in creating work that challenges these perceived binaries and examines dominant cultures within both.
“MOO-D” is a project that aims to start a conversation between rural and urban communities with a focus on queering the perceived binaries between the two and examining/challenging dominant cultures and conscious/unconscious bias within both. I will create a herd of life-sized Pennsylvania-shaped Holstein Cow soft sculptures that will exist in the urban landscape creating a dialogue around perceived biases of what does or does not belong in a particular area.
This project is currently in-progress in my studio and more images and information will be released soon.
