Polly X's Giant Heart
I added the war zone grime to barbie parts that I pulled apart. Some of the barbie pieces were set dressing while others were zip-tied to this chicken wire heart. A strip of LED lights was added around the outside of the heart to give it a punk vibe.

Dead Child
A child mannequin was bought to represent Andromache's dead child. I was put to the task of destroying this little guy and adding the war zone grime to his body. In the play, the characters reference his head being run over.

I was in charge of creating the box in the background of this image with the hanging doll parts. We took the limbs from barbies, predrilled a small hole, and strung a piece of wire through it. Then we placed eyehooks along the top of the box to string the doll parts in a way that they would hang.
I helped construct the green table alongside the graduate student supervisor, Lindsey Kelly.
