Double Exposures - The Hauntings of the Thorne Rooms

Populating the idealized scenes of the Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Knoxville Museum of Art with Lewis Hine's child laborers and other exploited children. Romanticized past meets uncomfortable history, art patronage meets hunger wages. Ghosts and hauntings are narrative tools to subvert the beautiful illusion, question the status quo and demand acknowledgement, reparation and change.  

Never believe that art is not political.
