Song and Dance

Song and Dance is an accumulation of stories, some fictional, some autobiographical, which explore circumstances that make up one’s identity. A familiar, yet strange basement den is built to house these constructed narratives. Silk-screened texts on mass-produced 1980’s offset portraits adorn wood-paneled walls. Secret objects or messages are dissimulated in the familiar setting making it somewhat eerie as if an inhabitant were playing with the viewer. This print-based project visits notions of identity, family and secrecy. The artist’s interest lies in the transformation of ordinary objects or daily activities into intriguing or amusing art pieces.
