On the heels of my own wedding, I recalled a lifetime of messaging that women are more valuable as brides. Many of the objects in this installation invite domestic nostalgia: jello molds, gramophone horns, antique furniture pieces, bits of lighting fixtures make up the assemblage contents. "Crumbs Under My Pillow" references a ritual established in the 17th century where single women attending a wedding each take home a piece of the cake to place under their pillow in order to dream about their future husbands.
