This sculpture was inspired by activists in Tulsa, OK who
were told by a local petrochemical representative to “just bake cookies” to hide the smell of noxious gases the factory was illegally venting into
their neighborhood.
performance actions included baking a chocolate chip cookie on a tractor trailer 5th wheel coupler, dancing with police batons and creating an incense sculpture infused with used motor oil inside scent diffusers and soaked into blank incense sticks. video performance documentation
installation view *sounds of wolves howling and my mother (who has Alzheimer’s) whispering through an adaptable PVC system connecting the sculptures along the gallery wall. The audio leaks out of breaches in the pipes. video/audio link
