No Trespassing, 2016. Metal, vinyl, plaster, dirt. 80″h x 60″w x 52″d.

No Trespassing is an exploration into the irony of the “No Trespassing” rule created by colonists, and violated by colonists arriving in Canada. The white-on-white sign melds into the white wall like an unspoken belief, while the backwards text disrupts our thinking about this unquestioned rule. The bent metal pole with dirt support shows recent evidence of the action of trespassing, symbolizing a disruption of the rule itself.
