Glass bottles filled with Pepto Bismol form a line to resemble industrial conveyor belt; while the circus tent signifies the filling machine which fills children with colorful foods/pharmaceuticals.
I chose Pepto Bismol because the consistency and color reminds me of pigment in acrylic paint instead of edible items, also pink is a unique color that evokes certain emotional response. The circus tent is used here as a symbol of the hyperactivities children display after ingesting artificial food ingredients (food coloring, flavors, saccharin, salicylate… etc.).
"Color Based"(detail), 2007, dimension variable, installation: circus tent, artist-designed glass bottles and pepto-bismol.
