Party Poopers
(2023)
Mixed-media installation using wax sculpture, stop-motion animation, glass sculpture, printmaking, and drawing
A beautiful world of shit arises from the ephemerality of euphoric experiences. The psychological (re)processing of experiences over time fuels the objects’ transformations. Cups, candles, and cakes manifest themselves in a state of flux materially, through the transformation of wax using heat and conceptually, through the celebrations that transition us between childhood and adulthood. Projections of animated characters and viewers create chaos together by dancing, partying, and destroying at a rager that is literally on fire.
