"Dead Loss" by Jessica Bender

Coming on April 15, 2001: Dead Loss... an installation inspired by solitary confinement, padded cells, and blanket forts by Jessica Bender during the months of April and May, with an opening on Friday, April 15 from 6-9 pm.

Jessica is a midwest transplant to the northwest, and her art is about identity. She wants to be a vampire.
