Rustic looking wall hung assemblages, some based on folk jewelry. Many are vaguely heraldic like large charm bracelets and seem to include antique horse tackle or rigging, others look like broken off parts of simple farming tools hewn from chunks of wood. Is there an indictment of burden in the way the tackle morphs into the bones or horns of the implied animal, in the severed dreadlocks? A work containing a sickle blade, severed hair and a tiny american flag politicizes the class origins of folk art and continues its tradition of social critique.
