As part of the FOAM Brewers installation, Time Kills Art, For All My Emily's is a means for me to explore how the female body relates to public space. Repetition of three female figures represents the stories that people tell us are our stories, that we begin to tell ourselves and live again and again. On the wall, the female becomes an object (wall paper), and the body begins to evoke type as the eye roves the installation. The printed images are wheat pasted onto the wall, as if a billboard in a public space. The boundaries between images are redefined or obscured through application of paint, mimicking the importance and challenges of reestablishing boundaries as women between other female relationships.
