Deborah Lawrence Dee Dee Does Utopia

Description

Dee Dee Does Utopia is a series of varnished works on paper. Lawrence researched failed utopias throughout United Express, and as with previous projects, inhabiting the work through a fictitious alter ego named Dee Dee Lorenzo. Integrating text, graphics, and allusions to traditions such as American quilting and stitchery, the collage-like works in Dee Dee Does Utopia are inspired by the instigations and political aesthetics of the Dadaists and Surrealists.
