About the Artwork:

In Flip Side, the different wood materials are the centerpieces of the artwork for me. Both the wood of the barrel and the corks, as part of the vessel, time stamp, and marker of labor. They all have their individual history about how the wine they are stained with was made. They are a visual of a group of people’s labor. I believe the colors displayed in the corks honor the hard work that was used to put into the wine.
