"False Front: Pants on Fire"
steel, fabric, thread, paper, acrylic paint
14.5 x 11 x 6 inches
$800

Yet another iteration of the garment forms I’ve been exploring, this dickey started out to be about our tendency to put up a front in certain situations where we might feel inadequate, and how these little lies can come back to bite us. But as I worked on it, I thought about my frustration with the current level of false information purported as truth by those in power at this time. Maybe it was all the gold that made me see a connection. These falsehoods will come back to bite those disseminating them. Someday. I hope.
