The paintings begin by creating shadow boxes full of magazine cutouts, found objects, and sculpted forms. The boxes are small, between four and five inches in length and height. The size difference between the paintings and original boxes adds to the surrealist and uncanny nature of the works, while also making them feel more like real spaces, as if the viewer could reach right in.
This exhibition considers the importance of the home as an imagined space. What do you see when you think of home? Is it all good? All bad? What can our resting place—emotional or physical—tell us about ourselves?
