The first large scale installation I created was inspired by the culture wars that ultimately censored and defunded the arts in the USA. Andres Serrano's Piss Christ ignited a firestorm of rage against the visual arts by the religious right. This work inspired me to ponder the power and function of religious symbols such as the Crucifix in society and its connections to the trans Atlantic slave trade in which the christianizing of the enslaved Africans was seen as one of the justifications for slavery. With this work the 100 pounds of feathers are the symbolic number and representations of fowls that would be required in a blood sacrifice to be offered to cleanse and redeem the symbol of its use for the oppression, enslavement and destruction of Africans.
