The Sweet Show

The Sweet Show
2017

The Sweet Show is a sculptural and video installation that satirically addresses regret of lost opportunity. The ice cream cone is a delicious object held in our eager hand; however, once the grip is lost the treat becomes a revolting gooey mess at our feet.

I use familiar forms and delectable content, but subvert their desirability with unexpected or unsettling imagery. This juxtaposition and inverting a sense of innocence, makes pastel colors become cruel, turns deliciousness into disgust, turns dangerous into humorous, and changes childlike sweetness into eroticism.
