"Urban Legend" (work in progress) (2020)

This is a plaster casting of a Whopper with "found object" from a separate and un-related restaurant. This is one piece of a project I will be finishing this month for my upcoming solo show called "Doing Okay".

I intend to display this casting on a pedestal with a large painting of an idealized "as seen on tv" Whopper. In comparison, this artifact from an actual visit to Burger King is much smaller, sadder, and lacking (perhaps this is what the white color implies).

Though it is facetious, I think there is a deeper message here, resonating an almost dysmorphia between images in the media and in real life.
