The pieces in this series use the charged names and histories of household paint colors (e.g. Chantilly Lace, Snow White, Chalk White, Genesis White, Patriotic White, High Hide White, Innocence) as a jumping off point, as tools for an inquiry into whiteness and the quotidian, everyday encounters with cultural artifacts, including film (e.g. Chaplain’s Modern Times), advertisements, events in the news, artworks, and encounters in the public square.
