Untitled (balloon work) combines inscribed gold balloons in the gallery with a short video recording the aftermath of a corporate balloon drop where a small group of women diligently pop hundreds and hundreds of balloons as a way of clearing them away

The popping balloons are reminiscent of weapons fire, while some of the balloons are inscribed in gothic script with the names of recent coalition military actions like, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom or, Valiant Guardian

Untitled (balloon work) considers the language of war and some of the ways it impinges on first world societies -societies that find themselves both in a contunuing state of conflict while we push our views of it to the edges of our vision, perhaps in a collective state of denial.
