A New Face (Installation)

A New Face explores migrant labor, aging, and the changing face of American agriculture. This mashup of the Sun-Maid raisin girl and John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath stars Marianne’s 73-year-old mother. Recurring historical themes of debt and discrimination show the clash between the American dream of individuality and big corporate interests.

The titles in this series are appropriated phrases from The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
