Fragments for a Story, 1991

Materials:
50lbs powdered plaster, glass shards, etched glass panel
Dimensions: Variable size
Exhibition
: Workscene Gallery, Toronto, Canada

Fragments for a Story is an installation investigating body-related anxieties such as those we experience at times of transition like puberty. Etched on two glass shelves facing each other on opposite walls of the gallery is a letter sent by an adolescent girl and boy to an advice column called, Dear Doctor. The girl is concerned about being seen as a slut because of her large breasts. The boy is worried about his voice breaking and hoping it is not a permanent condition.
