Michele Pred: (Dis)Possessions August 16, 2008

What does it mean to you when your important personal items are taken away? Michele Pred investigates this question with sculptures made of materials confiscated at airport security checkpoints since 9/11. Made of objects such as lighters, nail clippers, pocketknives, razor blades, scissors, and other belongings, the artist's sculptures deal with both personal and shared memories.
