Message if Interested

Message if Interested focuses on internet behavior through online dating. I create a personals ad, then use the text from the responses I receive and display them in relationship with sculptural objects. The objects I use, tea and coffee paraphernalia, are meant to symbolize a first date as well as make-believe and the different persona's that are created through the cover of the internet. I also use my kitsch-like color scheme to represent purity as well as idealized memory to stand in opposition to the shallow and sometimes vulgar text.
