Ahab's Head: American Vengeance
In March 2020, I reread Moby-Dick or the Whale, one chapter a day. The dread and obsession in this great novel echoed how I felt at this time in the pandemic. My installation, Ahab’s Head: American Vengeance , addresses the relentless American obsession with violence.
The installation will be exhibited at the New Bedford Whaling Museum from December 13, 2025 to May 3, 2026.
The images on the website Iinclude studio shots of the installation in progress, drawings, and constructions.
