All Prologue exists as a body of work reflecting a semester's worth of research and application concerning the role of labor and the working class in American history. The work is intended to serve as a platform for discussion and personal interpretation, and creates a physical crossroads of public and private, past and present, and the here and there.

The body of work as a whole sets aside the conventional view of history as linear chronology. Instead, history becomes a kind of circuit, where labor and energy circulate, each theme reinforcing the other, and re-presenting ideas in new and surprising ways.

The pieces of popular culture represented throughout the project-ranging from HBO's The Wire, to Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, to the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen-act as a continuous and collective backdrop to the historic and personal struggles reverberated within the work.

All Prologue explores, celebrates and embodies the paradoxes found within the American working class in regards to our collective histories.
