Scene Two — Anna Campbell

^{Scene Two}

^{An iterative installation, Scene Two acts as an exploded
diagram for an expansive archive of feminist and queer
iconography. The cacophony of forms
stages an homage/ grudge match through such entries into the archive as a
curtain-scale dental dam, a lavender labrys, turned wooden replicas of the head
of a Hitachi Magic Wand, an Andrea Dworkin citation, a fragment from Sondheim’s Gypsy, and a crate with the silhouette of the Ladies of Llangollen,
whose romance spanned the 18th and 19th centuries.

Slippages between
floor and wall, and found and fabricated forms interrupt binary structures and
taxonomies. High and low meet where the pattern
of the floor at Versailles - now memed by woodworkers across centuries and
geographies - backs a stud wall library ladder and serves as a “surface” for a
pair of boxer briefs. More library ladders flank construction scaffolding, which pierces the wall.}
