You can't choose your family, and for the most part, you can't
choose your coworkers either. Who are these people with whom we
spend more time with than members of our own family?
Cheeseburger Soup seeks to answer these questions about a group of Wisconsin Department of Transportation civil servants. The project is comprised of oil paintings, an editioned suite of chine collé etchings, and an editioned artists' book with portraits and pointed written descriptions that describe co-workers everywhere ("36 days to retirement," or "Fired. Excessively competent.") The title refers to a regional dish served at the Wisconsin DOT cafeteria, and was chosen for the title because it seemed an unlikely collection of ingredients forced to function together.
