Contradiction I started this project with the idea of contradicting the traditional scale of the table. That exploration led me to go from literal contradictions to thematic ones. Ultimately the result was a blend of both. This piece is a composite of of items that represent my families diverse religious background and cultural practices. It is a combination of seemingly incompatible idols and items. The finished piece is a cramped personal space where few can find comfort and even fewer can relate. For me it’s nostalgic, for other viewers it can be eerie.
