I'm a wire house not a glass house, you can see through, but you can't leave finger prints

images of final project

This piece is an installation, including leftover materials from projects that fell through, past drawings/doodles, as well as personal elements like a label from my perscription.  The "My 16 year old boyfriend..." poster is an excerpt from my highschool diary.
