Maya Schindler:

Blah, Blah, Blah Revolution

Frequently employing play on words, Maya Schindler’s work ranges from the fanciful to the political, with witty, text-based sculptures and wall pieces. Blah, Blah, Blah Revolution is an outdoor sculptural piece that utilizes scale and material to further the irony of a juxtaposition of apathy and activism.
