Frustrated by the flippant tone of this opinion piece, I examined my own disordered eating patterns while wondering wtf “ordered” eating even is.

Princess Bride
2024
Found frame and curtain rod, paper cut outs from books, advertisements, wedding invitation
31.5 x 24 x 1 inches
Description:
Using my own wedding invitation, a Precious Moments book, Disney princess books, and jewelry advertisements, I collage the overwhelming message that marriage is the end goal. It’s a bit much to push onto little kids.

Found frame and curtain rod, paper cut outs from books and Playboy magazines
31.5 x 24 x 1 inches
