My Phone Tells Me To Do Bad Things
Punch Gallery, Seattle, WA
2008
Telephones have changed our lives forever. You cant put that genie back in the box. I spent an entire summer asking everyone I met if I could draw their phone. I assembled an entire sketchbook of drawings of phones, and from that, began to draw, paint, embroider, and cut phones from metal.
