I intricately cut and fold pages from ARTFORUM magazines to create masks and totems. I did not actively seek to make the masks with any particular cultural reference in mind.  Instead, I rely on my own imagination and subconscious images of masks that I hold in my mind's eye. Through re-contextualizing and subverting the ARTFORUM magazine to my own ends, I conflate socio-economic and political conditions with my lived experience. In this way, I see the masks as “power objects” that function in a similar way to ritual masks and totems. The original function of ARTFORUM as an authority of cultural production is thwarted and, instead, it becomes an object d’art that reads as a relic rather than a commentator.
