bras on, 2020

laser print on bond paper, wheat paste

24"x36"

bras on was manufactured by heavily cropping images taken from a performance in which I wrap bras around my chest, painfully distorting my breasts. They have been printed and scanned three times, abstracting the images while allowing them to become objects easily accessible for mass consumption. Using an adhesive made from flour and water, these large-scale prints are sealed to the wall.

During the process of applying the wheat paste, the ink smeared over the prints and onto the wall.

Upon removal, it was clear that the prints and the ink permanently stained. 

At this point, they have been painted over, buried and are forever a part of the wall's surface.
