Washington, DC, sculptor (and former Senate aide) Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg manifests 艾可直播s' frustration with our gridlocked partisan politics by taking an entire year of the official proceedings of the United States Congress, as documented in the Congressional Record, and folding each page into a paper airplane.
