“My Artobiography” is a set of four pairs of cups. Each triangular cup has a photo on one side, narrative on another, and the handle on the last side.

My Artobiography

In my art-o-biography, I made the cups in pairs:  one cup focused on events of my life; the other cup focused on my life in relation to events in art history.

The narration always begins with “This is what I looked like when….”

All of the cups chronicling art history feature an artist being an enfant terrible…  Rauschenberg erasing a de Kooning; Lynda Benglis posing nude in Artforum; Ai Weiwei throwing down a Han dynasty vase; Charles Kraft forgetting that his work was satire. These acts had different meanings — but all emphasized the need to think about art.
