This multimedia piece is one out of a series of three, all bearing the same title. "Dysfunctional Dollhouse" plays with ideas including consumerism, excess, and home-making. I organized the composition to feel frazzled and maze-like. The viewer's eye is hopefully sent like a ping pong ball bouncing from one luxury/comfort to the next.
My work often considers consumerism and its place in the development of the self.
It has much in common with a stream-of-consciousness poem I wrote, called "Chips":
Abundance lacking profundity
Gathers masses
Built from single use plastics
Novelties in great quantities
Made new by machines
Made old by hands
Anthropocene
The Spleen
of Paris
World fair
Happy meal prize
Stomping through
Trash like dry leaves
Culture made crispy
&irresistibly unsatisfying
