If you’re in Chicago this weekend, hmu for a walk through @barely_fair . I’d love to talk to you about the personal stories embedded in this mini-architecture. One of my favorite things about this work is that it can be viewed in totality or as discrete parts that shatter off. These are the three walls that make up ‘The room in this room’ with @project_art_distribution , along with the Italian Renaissance revival ceiling @themorganlibrary (commissioned by the founder of Chase Bank for his private library) and a recent quote by @itsbensutton for @theartnewspaper.official about the work 💎 The room in this room Pt. 1, 2, 3 2026 Oil, latex, acrylic, silver leaf, graphite, and MDF 19 ⅜ x ½ x 11 ⅞ inches photos by @psychaugas

🤯 featured in my hometown’s coolest newspaper @chicago_reader !!! Link in b!o to read the whole piece ♣️ Thank you @funerin for interviewing @project_art_distribution @barely_fair @ceramic_canvas_in_the_attic + I about our work in this year’s Barely Fair 🎩 in this juicy article, I talk about the Thorne Miniature Rooms @artinstitutechi (Image 3), the Roger Brown Study Collection (I learned in this process that @saicpics sold it off to @jmkac ) and their display of mini houses among so much other gold (Image 5), uncanny mini-timacy (Image 7 is of @tinydollhousenyc , where I bought the ladder in my install), and Chicago-style humor (Image 9 is from the now-closed Uncle Fun’s, a joke shop that I saved every penny to spend $ at when I was a kid). Final image is of my studio rn after working up to this booth 🥵💅 so grateful to share this work … if u wanna meet up irl in Chicago, I’ll be visiting her April 18-19 before @barely_fair closes! There’s lots of other great work on view I can’t wait to see, including booths by @ceramic_canvas_in_the_attic @international___waters @unluckysnakesale @laurathegallery @rrainaterrorr @alina_tenser @jackbarrettgallery @essexflowers and @anna.markowska.hop.hop @gordonrobichaux !!! 📷 of my install by @psychaugas
