Work + Play
The series explores the relationship between the employees and patrons of the fairs and amusement parks. This collection attempts to see beyond the gaudy facades and masks, literal or otherwise, people put on. The work thus far takes a critical view of how patrons view service workers. Oftentimes, these workers are not seen as more than just another installation: an accessory in amusement or things to be yelled at, ignored or worse. The collection seeks to capture the contradictory of the ideas behind fairs by juxtaposing bright colors and esoteric subject matter. Major themes of obscurity and reflections exist in contrast with the vibrant and obvious.
