Sideshow is a site-specific project created for Queens Theater in the Park. Inspired by the theater's round shape and the World Fairgrounds site reminiscent of a town the circus has left, the artist draws on her background as a clown and puppeteer to bring the circus back to town in a series of fabric works and drawings.
