"Let us wash our hair and stare stare at mountain ranges was initially made for a billboard project in Texas. The text is from Gertrude Stein‘s Lifting Belly, a fragmentary, erotic text, written from Stein to Alice B. Toklas. I made ten billboards for a project with Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) that I chose to show in Texas. Most of the text in this project came from Stein‘s Lifting Belly. I loved the idea of a romantic dialog between women adjacent to religious billboards. I loved imagining people driving past the billboard, identifying with or liking the text not knowing but maybe finding out later that the text was queer."
