Dividing Lines; The Combat Helmet, 2017, cardboard, print, plaster, silicone, in acrylic case, 14 x 16 x 13 in (35.5x40.6x33 cm)
Dividing Lines:The Combat Helmet was created during the Universal Divides performance for video. The main character of Universal Divides is engaged in seemingly playful acts of random divisions - and yet - the selections and removals of the elements of terrain serve as a metaphor for a game of power. The artist cuts the globe with a saw to reflect divisions in the world. In the last act we are presented with the final result - a combat helmet-that epitomizes how the current borders were usually created.
