Spin (1999)

In this viewer activated installation, slowly rotating faces of girls and women reflect on the inside lid of an old hope chest that overflows with an exaggerated veil onto a rocking chair. A sound track plays a recitation of the epitaphs of unmarried women, overlaid with ambiguous moans and jump rope rhymes. In a young girl’s life, these repeated and circular chants often anticipate her future love life.
