Wood Cutouts, Lighting, Sound Track, Video, Rugs
Collaboration with E.G. Crichton and Mary Psiongas. “Toyland” used the trope of toys to investigate the dysphoria of gender. Large shadows and sound permeated the gallery, evoking a troubled childhood landscape. Toy silhouettes snaked around the walls of the gallery following a boy-to-girl gender line. In the next room, viewers could sit on toy-shaped rugs to watch videos with slowly dissolving abstract color and quick subliminal image flashes of boy toys speaking with female toy voices, and visa versa.
