inmate jumpsuits, ink
60" x 30
2014
Autoincarceration was a month-long performance protest in 2014 to engage the public around the issues of mass incarceration. When prison abolition was still a preposterous concept to most, this performance brought the discussion into our public spaces. Through conversations, research, and experiences, I added markings, text, and drawings to 7 standard-issue jumpsuits often worn by people who are incarcerated. I wore the series continuously for a month, all day, every day.
