Quotes

• Sandy Skoglund is described as an antic dream
  world of ordinary life gone seriously awry.
• My work is based on a Frankenstein model where
  human beings have created a world that is out of
  control and turns on then.
• I think I am most fond of the unseen part.
• The piece is really about the sensation of
  all-at-onceness of simultaneous stimulation.

Materials Used

• Skoglund creates surrealist images by building
  elaborate sets or tableaux, furnishing them with
  carefully selected colored furniture and other
  objects, a process of which takes her months to
  complete. Finally, she photographs the set,
  complete with actors. The works are characterized
  by an overwhelming amount of one object and
  either bright, contrasting colors or a
  monochromatic color scheme.
