"Trophy Room" is an experiment in combining scraps of personal accolades, images of the body, and the epidemic of injury in sports. Recent interests in gender related sports texts including Warrior Girls by Michael Sokolove, in which he discusses the bias between young male and female athletes, as well as Feminist Sports Studies edited by Pirkko Markula laying out a history of this specific study, has fueled this installation to include bodies forms and sports models. In tandem with a larger installation, Spectator Sport, opening at the Austin Museum of Art in November, this installation is a display of fatigue and failure of the human body and the temporal methods for repair.
