Just a few days before the Right Here Over There Opening this Friday, we are still busy installing and making last-minute perfections. Next on our installation radar is an interesting work by Hampton, Virginia based artist Tracy Spencer-Stonestreet. Here’s a clip from Tracy’s artist statement. Be sure to check out more of Tracy’s work.
“Through my manipulations of furniture and other domestic objects, I attempt to complicate entrenched conventions of family relations, sexuality, and social conditioning. I give physicality to moments of internal crisis through an on‐going investigation and deconstruction of furniture. Made to imitate heirlooms of the aristocracy, these objects are already participating in a sort of role‐playing that aids in the reconstituting of an upwardly mobile class identity.” – Tracy Spencer-Stonestreet
