"Side Cutter Sue" draws on her painful experiences to deliver a display of resilience. She channels the hurt and anxiety into movement, showcasing an unwavering belief in her ability to confront and balance her emotions amid the chaos of betrayal. As an artist with no means for making, she meticulously destroys the legal documents involved in a dispute. Each micro-movement radiates strength, turning pain into an emblem of empowerment. Her determined spirit serves as a profound reminder of the beauty that can arise from hardship.

I fabricated three tables on contract hours with the University of Michigan’s Institute for the Humanities Gallery. The first exhibition on the tables was a selection of works from Erika Lopez, an artist who creates interactive experiences for viewers: ceramics and wall-works for viewers to touch.
