[...]
As the US Postal Service delivers political junk mail to my home, I collage it into new messages I want to hear from presidential hopefuls. The cut, rearranged, and pasted words of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, and other candidates will be displayed in the

You can view the exhibit at Sea and Space from October 23 – November 16, 2008.
Audacity of Desperation will hold it's opening reception on October 25 and election countdown on November 4, 2008. More information can be found at
