"ID therefore I AM"
I am what you choose to see.
I finally got my piece done for the traveling exhibit called 'Your documents please'. To see another document with a different take on it, please visit the failed painter. While Loretta's theme is "'the stateless person' mine is centered on the mercurial nature of our Identity, and how others decide who we are based on their own perceptions/politics/prejudices regarding race, gender, culture, clothes, mannerisms, etc. We don't know whether those labels makes us a friend or a foe. We don't have control of what is written in files about us, no recourse or means to challenge, no knowledge of whether those labels are a good thing or a bad thing, but then it could be both depending on whose looking.
The front and back covers are made of wood, painted an glazed a dirty grey. The front piece is an old computer part than has a dial that spins, oil on canvas for the eye inside the watch face, India ink washed paper, and wax thread binding.
