“Crimes Against Nature” was on view at The Brown Gallery of Duke University from October 22 - December 1, 2014. In this solo show, I use ceramic to transform everyday objects that were used as weapons in specific gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) hate crimes. Working primarily in bisque white clay, I twist and contort these known forms, such as wrenches, cans and rocks. As these objects are transformed, they become a stand in for the body during such violent acts. Hammers become limbs; Bats become bodies. The disturbance of everyday objects calls into question the culture in which they exist.
This exhibition was a part of Queering Duke History, a month-long commemoration of LGBT history at Duke and the larger community. This event was co-sponsored by the LGBTQ Commemorative Committee, the DUU Visual Arts Committee, and the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
