During the past 25 years, I have worked toward developing a complex body of art that has at various times employed photographs, text, fabric, audio, digital images, installation, and, most recently, video. My work has led me to investigate family relationships, gender roles, the histories of racism, sexism, class, and various political systems. Coming Up for Air (2002) was my first video endeavor, first screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In it I wove together a series of vignettes, separate yet linked, comprised of narrative sequence of photographs, moving footage, and live action. The Louisiana Project (2003), commissioned by Tulane University, teases out the hidden histories of Louisiana, condensing a web of relationships between black and white, rich and poor, elites and the masses. The installation includes digital photographs, text, video stills, and video.
