My MFA thesis show was called Glitzianers–a 1000+ sq/ft site specific installation featuring five screen-printed linoleum tile patterns, three architectural ramps, a pile of golden bagels, a pyramid of take-home yarmulkes, and 5 mirrors featuring a girl on a bicycle with a yarmulke worn like a pillbox hat.  Additionally, the entire installation had its own sound track–a mix created in collaboration with DJ Eric Ingala.
