After the fire is gone

After the fire is gone at Microscope Gallery 2017

After the fire is gone is a single channel video as well as a full-scale multimedia installation. The project, which combines performance, sculpture, and low-res video, was exhibited in September 2017 at Microscope Gallery. The installation version of the piece was exhibited at The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in Miami. The work focuses on Dolly Presley, who is discontent with her life in New York City, waiting tables at a greasy spoon while her husband Anton sells life insurance out of a shoebox office in Queens. When Clayton, the love of her life, happens into the diner, Dolly is overcome with nostalgia for her past life with Clayton, the South, and everything she was before she married Anton.
