Duel 120

The Duel Meaning of Things displays everyday items such as family portraits and baseball bats whose original purpose changes due to a single event or action. Referencing sixties Italian architectural group Superstudio, ‘anti design grid,’ I reconfigure mass produced objects and images to emphasize the dual purpose they can have both positively and negatively on our lives. The use of the word “Duel” is a play on the word in reference to the murder of Lawrence King.
