Six sided container with a top and bottom half, containing a flexagon "fortune teller" and printed colophon card. "A flexagon paper structure made to emulate revolving thoughts ... Designed and printed at Laboratory Press at Otis College of Art & Design during the 2019 Summer Residency. Assembled in Las Vegas, Nevada, 3 off 40"--Colophon. IaU ""Push + Pull" is the first of two projects that embody my current preoccupation with procreation. As a married black woman in her mid-thirties, the next logical step in life -- according to societal and cultural precedents -- would be to have children. However, there are several issues that make me question whether this decision would be the right one -- for my health, for my career, for my family, for our planet. This particular piece is a flexagon structure that represents the never-ending loop of pros and cons I often weigh within this particular topic. As the viewer follows one of the six tetrahedrons through four rotations, the following sentences are formed: YOU'LL GET BIGGER BOOBS. WE DON'T NEED MORE. IT MIGHT BE FUN. DAD WANTED GRAND BABIES. OUR MOMS WOULD HELP. BUT YOU COULD DIE."--Artist's website.
