"Altar-ations” is a wedding planner gone awry, to question who is really in control of a woman’s self-image and gender construction. It includes interviews from young people as they contemplate marriage, sexuality, and reproductive technologies. For example, student Fiona May tells about how the blood diamond trade impacted her home country of Sierra Leone, and how her family fled from civil war. "Altar-ations" appeared in SIGGRAPH 2006 and as a web feature for the International Museum of Women in "Imagining Ourselves" 2006, as well as other exhibitions. It is scheduled to be discussed in several 2007 publications, including Leonardo.
