These bundles are made from fairly large pieces of fabric (polyester), which are individually dipped in various colors of wax, crumpled, expanded, and then sew up. They currently hang in my studio as a series of about 100. My goal is to get to 1,000 (at least) and create an installation piece.
The bundles reference the matrix of information (contained within individuals, communities, networks) that inevitably informs our personal identities. Our identities are influenced by that which we consume (literally and otherwise). These bundles are representations of containers of that wealth of information, "cultural capital," that can advance or impede an individual's social status depending on that individuals consumption of the information.
