This is the box top for my Fresh Off The Boat Special Edition of the Game of LIFE. Last week the Social Security show over at the Kirkland Arts Center came to a close. I intended to put my piece into storage today, so I thought I’d snap a few photos before it went into hibernation. Right after I took these, a puppy named Eleanor decided to smash the box top. I take it she’s pro immigration reform or simply […]

The Game of LIFE

March 13, 2011 by The Ghost Horse

LIFE – FOB Edition 2010 24 x 19.5 x 2.5 in. Game board, paper, plastic, thread. In 2010, I took a course called Social Issues Through the Arts. I had the pleasure of participating in a group project with fellow artists, Tina Russell and Lara Kaminsky. We created a collaborative installation that addressed a social caste system that exists in America, preventing equal access for many communities. We staged a high stakes business meeting. Participants were asked to role play […]
