Doll House

Fitness & News Editorial

Work from the Dollhouse series is initiated with the development of architectural structures that act as an extension of emotional experience rather than of physical needs. These structures contain a variety of tableaus portraying a queer esoteric purgatory. These tableaus consist of a blending of formalist abstraction, rendering of figurative paintings, miniature landscape terrains, and a variety of sculpted figures and objects creating dream-like scenes exploring themes such as alienness, imprisonment, absurdity, and longing. This work is conceptually informed by my experience as a person with post-traumatic stress disorder. My symptoms lead me to feel imprisoned within the confines of my mind, bombarded with racing thoughts and constant fatigue. A life inside, insular and confined, that has only been amplified by the endless self-quarantine of Covid-19, aroused an interest in creating cinematic inspired interior scenes dripping in campy artifice.
