Surrender, San Francisco, CA, January, 2004

I modified my shirt with grommets and clips and hoisted it up the flag pole of my local post office. Part of the Service Series.

This is one of the diptyches that I created to deconstruct the uniform that I was wearing in many of my performance pieces from 1999-2002 in which I was taking on the role of a service person or busboy. There are seven diptyches in all that deconstruct my black shoes, black bag, black socks, black pants, black belt, white shirt and black tie. 2002-2004.
