These include his 2001 «Shopkeeper Series,» simulacra
of small business
signs spelling out messages
of quiet
desperation in short word limits (like «SUE, I AM SORRY / PLEASE COME BACK» beneath a
sign for «Jim & Susan's Motel»); several photographic portraits
of real and fictional characters from the «Historical, Youth and Attribute Portraits» series from the early 1990s; as well as the now - iconic furniture sculpture Lum has been making since the late 1970s.
