First Comes Love is based on my personal experience
as a wife, mother and artist. This body of work plays with traditional gender
roles in middle-class family life that limit both men and women. My hope is that
this exhibit will generate discussion about the ways we keep ourselves isolated
and silent on issues that are important to us. Would speaking out potentially
jeopardize our privileges and comforts? First Comes Love was exhibited in 2004
at the Peninsula Museum of Art in the heart of Silicon Valley, the site of the
latest pilgrimage to find the American dream. [Installation
