Sue Williams, Irresistible, rubber, 1992, text on sculpture reads: Thanks for the beer. Love is forgiving. If you don’t care about yourself, how do you expect others to–you dumb bitch. I didn’t do that. Have you been seeing someone–huh slut. I think you like it mom. Look what you made me do. The No. 1 cause of injury to women is battery (men) Course no one asks what the women did. He’s under a lot of uh———oh do. So uptight. Can you find something to ram in her mouth? We don’t know if she enjoyed it or not. This case remains a mystery.

1995

The righteous attempts of a couple to outline their respective positions in an argument are mirrored in the dual screens of this installation. The changing channels of a radio places each stage of the argument to a different soundtrack, highlighting one of the major ways that emotion is manipulated by filmmakers.
