Usually utilitarian and meant to be hidden, tape joins separate pieces, mends tears or is discarded after operating as a boundary for paint. In the Edges Revisited series, masking tape designs are used as transparencies for making lumen prints.

The use of simple tape can be seen as a metaphor for the fight to be heard, seen, valued and taken seriously.
