Artist: Lisa Zhou
Year: 2012
Medium: Paper mache
Artist Statement: This paper mache sculpture named Bob symbolizes the idea of how quickly people label those that are seen as deviants of society with a type of mental illness. Bob’s two different sides represent the transition from the past with terms that stigmatize, to the present and future, where madness is increasingly medicalized.
