On Exhibit

Crooked Card Players
Los Angeles, 1998
Mixed media, rubber-stamped text

"Evocative sentences, cryptic nomenclature, curious imagery ... these together make loose, light, elusive narratives, which I believe transcend their intended forms. In Crooked Card Players, I hope to reveal not only a sophisticated method of deception but to hint at how gestures functions as a silent means of communication."
