Going Dutch
Going Dutch (2021) pays homage to the Dutch Golden Age and its contributions to art and scientific discovery while challenging its legacy of colonialism, material acquisition, and traditional gender roles. Motifs in the paintings point to an inherited culture of domination, domestication, and accumulation. Despite the critique, stylistic nods to renowned Dutch artists add to a playful and surreal space in which skewed perspectives, collage, and saturated color amplify the tension between public and private spheres, modes of production and consumption, and the fine line between function and fetish. Materials: Acrylic on reclaimed wood panel, collage, handbuilt frames embedded with plaster castings of pickles and eggs.
