Poor Pension Math explores the mythology of the
American Dream and how a structure of persistent
economic disparity has shaped a shift in our understanding
of this Dream. Often using found domestic and industrial
objects and text, Koumoundouros develops her visual
language through the lens of a feminist perspective in
which she draws connections between larger societal and
political realties and the human body, with sculptures made
from advertising slogans of high-end consumer goods,
found objects, latex and papier mache extensions that
reference the body.
