Artist Statement
For the last 25 years I have been working almost exclusively in recycled Styrofoam and lightweight spackle. It was the most forgiving, durable and enjoyable medium I’ve ever worked. I started work on this piece in 1997 as a part of a dozen works I called my “struggle series”. It was a little different from the others in the series, and I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go with it until 14 years later. The Powers That Be decided that Manning should be silenced.
I still have a lot of Styrofoam, but a workable lightweight spackle is no longer available. When I started this piece in 1997 or when I finished it in 2014, I had no idea that in 2015 I would be struggling to find a medium with which I could express my truths. However my struggle is nothing compared to what Chelsea Manning continues to endure.
