My Misery Is A Gift. Set of 7 greeting cards, 5"x7", 2010.
Seven different digital photographs, each depicting a tearful portrait, printed on greeting cards. While Hallmark cards traditionally demonstrate commitment and sentimentality, this artwork seeks to communicate these themes through a depiction of pain and anguish. Drawing from the meaning and subtext imbued in the greeting card, this work creates a visual metaphor that meditates on the Martyr Complex.
