In nearly every block in NYC, you will find a building with a representation of a swag or festoon set in stone or plaster above the doorway. Originally, this was a bundle of flowers that was placed above the entryway on fete days, sort of a physical 'welcome home'. That, combined with the swallows (who can fly 3,000 miles yet return the same nest), symbolize an idea (not ideal!) of home.

The body of work contained in Allegory stems from my ongoing fascination with ornament and how it simultaneously defines/codifies cultural ideas of beauty while more subtly elucidating social morals, taste, and class distinctions.
