Incorporating layers of collaged paper, text and found items including detritus from their own home, the new work by Simon Evans™, This American Dollhouse, depicts the cross-section of a house, revealing the clutter, humor, and madness contained within. While certain objects point to the artists specifically, the doll house represents a universal experience: the daily and habitual patterns of life and domesticity, and our fraught relationship with material belongings. As one moves from the top floor to lower levels, the veneer of cleanliness and order—hidden from the eye of the all-seeing security camera—progressively erodes. A masked, costumed man stands in the kitchen with arms outstretched, acting out the frustration and confinement we have all experienced over the past year and a half.
