Ellen Nielsen: WHIM JOBS
@ WELIVEINNY$LA
1801 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, May 14th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Friday, June 4th
An exhibition of work by Ellen Nielsen. Using craft processes on an exaggerated scale, Nielsen addresses issues of consumerism, labor, ornamentation and spectacle. In WHIM JOBS, benign decorations are transformed into monstrous objects of desire. Symbols of feminine whimsy and excess become potent and imposing forms.
