Tara Fadenrecht

Tara Fadenrecht’s work is concerned with protection and vulnerability, often constructing structures resembling cages to represent both positive and negative attributes of security.  While the cage acts as a protective barrier against danger and environmental threats, it also imprisons the inhabitant.  Whether the influences of external sources, such as family, spouses and the media have formed and helped to imprison one within these cages, ultimately these structures are of one’s own design.  The individual is not completely fulfilled within these self-made cages, yet there is a type of comfort with a knowable discomfort.
