My work is base around ideas of identity and where we are placed with regard to the people and commodities that populate our existence. This year I have been reading Slavoj Zizek and navigating my work through this particular quote.

“Objet petit a, the object-cause of desire. A quite ordinary, everyday object that, as soon as it is “elevated to the status of the Thing,” starts to function as a kind of screen, an empty space on which the subject projects the fantasies that support his desire, a surplus of the real that propels us to narrate again and again our first traumatic encounters with jouissance.”
