Artist Comments

Five full-sized, well-worn locked doors, some with writing over them, many with sounds and images emanating from behind them, are presented to the viewer with barbed wire barricading them from closer observation, yet allowing viewers to can peak through keyholes on some of the doors, searching for sounds and visual images from behind the doors, thereby becoming frustrated with being “locked” from information.
