That’s how I started the “Imitations and Subterfuges” series. I divided the real and the fake with a line as clear as my resentments against the world, and I gathered the absolute fakest of the cheap, imitation accessories that I could find. I wanted to change the fate they had been given. I thought of it as a means of subversion against the class pyramid I had been made so conscious of. When framed that way, the project received a fierce welcome and then naturally seeped down into the gears of that world. I was able to send around a hundred pieces off into the world as a part of this project. I was delighted.
