Artist Statement
I first exhibited floccinaucinihilipilification in 2018 at Angela Meleca Gallery in a solo exhibition entitled Fake. The entire exhibition was devoted to my distain for Trump. The coat is made entirely of paper. The text is made up of Trump quotes disparaging women, assemble like a ransom note. The titles meaning is the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.
