Starting in the Garden of Eden, naughty Eve has been paying the price for convincing Adam to eat the forbidden fruit. Ever since she has been conveniently left out of history and getting paid half his salary. It wasn't until the middle ages that this notorious fruit became an apple, illustrating this seminal event for a world of illiterates. Painters chose the shiny, plump, familiar red fruit which I am using to represent the beginning of  gender disparity. 

I have common apples  laser etched with the word “EVIL” and then I either photograph them in installations or turn them into sculptural objects. The photographs place the “EVIL” apples in settings with gender, bible or fairy tale associations such as a pristine kitchen, an apple orchard, or amongst a bevy of cartoon princesses. Sculptural presentations include apples preserved in alcohol and freeze dried as a metaphor for preserving ancient stereotypes of male and female roles. In addition, a time lapse video of a laser etched “EVIL Apple” is shown decomposing converting 3 months into 3 mintues.
