The view from over here
Pallet, landscaping fabric, flagging tape, mason line, stoneware. Dimensions variable, 2025
A green panel of landscaping fabric, white fencing, black ceramic forms, and bright pink flagging tape come together like a simplified suburban yard. The scene feels familiar, but slightly staged, as if the materials are acting out the rules of a home and its surrounding space. Through this arrangement, Brooklin reflects on the domestic sphere as a place where everyday objects quietly shape how people move, behave, and understand themselves. The work uses lawns, fences, stairs, and textiles to question gender binaries and the roles attached to different kinds of labor. Its layered fences suggest the divide between public and private, while the hidden ceramic staircase asks viewers to shift position in order to see more. In this way, Brooklin turns boundaries into something unstable, opening space for transition, new perspective, and the possibility that another side may truly feel different.
The view from over here is one of two installations from my MFA thesis exhibition, Strange World, which investigates hierarchies of labor and the gendering of processes and materials, namely in the domestic sphere. The work is fueled by binaries, seeming opposites: masculine/feminine, outdoor/indoor, natural/unnatural, Sculpture/Craft. A surreal suburban landscape-- lawns, fences, stairs, and textiles are cast and caricatured as a means of questioning subliminal and explicit boundaries between gender dualities. Material choices simultaneously reference the inside of a home and the yard outside, flowing from one to the other. There is a nod to ideas of public and private through layered fencing motifs and the hidden ceramic staircase, revealed only by a physical shift in the gallery space, a new perspective. The title is an ode to transition and the grass being greener on the other side; sometimes it really is.
