Work
His project: RECESS (resource exhaustion crisis evacuation safety shelter) is an example of his conceptual approach.[2] In this ongoing project, Person undertakes a DIY conversion of a swimming pool into a bomb shelter / survival bunker, highlighting the potentially negative outcomes of maintaining a hardcore survivalist mentality. The intentionally controversial subject matter in project RECESS led Asylum to label Person "the most paranoid man in America".[3]
In 2010, one of his sculptures was seized from Mark Moore Gallery by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives pending allegations that it was an illegally manufactured and trafficked firearm.[4][5]
Person is also known for his collages that used sliced up American dollar bills.[6][7][8] One such work, Yixing Teapot and iPod (from the series Worshipping Mammon: An Exploration of Value), is in the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art.[9]
His collaboration with Hiroshi Fuji was featured in the Site Santa Fe Biennial in 2008.[citation needed]
In 2015 he presented Prospector, a forty-foot high inflatable sculpture, in downtown Denver Colorado.[10][11][12]
