Description

Suellen Rocca. The Mother and The Bed, 2019. 4 color screenprint. 13 ½ x 18 inches. Signed and numbered. Edition of 50. $250. This print was inspired by the discovery of my 1950's doll house furniture found tucked away in a sturdy box in a corner of my basement. It is based on a series of drawings I made to explore the worldly and un-worldly connections between plastic doll house "Mother" — rigid, hinged, perfectly coiffed, wearing a coral-colored dress with sturdy black heels — and the plastic doll house "Bed." Using line and flat shapes, this diagrammatic, chart-like poster records ten of their encounters. —Suellen Rocca.
