Altared


Title: Altared
Size: 23” X 28” X 5 ½”
Date: 08-2007
Media: Assemblage
Materials: Wood, bicycle fender, sphygmomanometers, hat mold, plaster, cork, and tooth.

Description:
After a quadruple molar extraction my face no longer felt like my own. It is said to be a normal and easy thing. I don’t find it normal to have parts of me removed. I most definitely did not find it to be easy. It is an odd affair, to be put under anesthesia and wake up different. Seemingly you close your eyes and instantly open them again. But a lot happens in that blink.
