Past Exhibition

In She’s Back , Patty Carroll’s most recent photographs in her Anonymous Women series, we find Carroll’s domestic heroine/victim, plucky and hapless as ever.  With only a few bits of her visible, she succumbs time and again to her zest for décor in re-imagined domestic interiors that range from the wild west to game night.  She is both the victim of her obsessions as well as the invisible creator.  She is sad and funny, silly and serious, slapstick and tragic, but always game for more.

"We continually move through time and space, but never-the-less humans continue to try to stop this fluctuation. Our desire to construct a sense of home, through architecture, objects, habits, and rituals are acts of distraction where we can find relief in regularity. This new body of work, Midwestern Green/Western Blue, addresses the idea of home not as a static or singular habitable place but rather as a dynamic experience, found in multiple locations." - Anne Austin Pearce
