Visual artist
"The Fellowship will allow me to develop and expand my current
project, which centers around an informative and interactive space
dealing with the visualization of contemporary politics. Titled
"Labor < > Leisure (Global Economy)," it looks at the problematic
nature of photography, the consequences of tourism and the effects
of economic and cultural "globalization." The grant will also
help me develop my relationship to North Carolina as an artist
and educator by allowing me to focus on a more local level. Working
with a UNC professor of anthropology, I will photograph Fayetteville,
NC, focusing on its identity as a military town and its role in
maintaining and exporting American culture."
