In cooperation with The Open Dresser Gallery, The Cabinet of Self explores constructed identities and political points of view. Showing two projects created during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 and 2021.

Fuel For The Fire (Right To Left Leaning) is a jibe at the earnestly curated Zoom bookshelf titles that proliferated as people laboured to assert their “brands” during lockdown. A selection of ten painted-over charity shop books ordered in a job lot suspend in pairs are doomed to circle each other around a shared dilemma. PERSONA-RAMA! uses a deck of painted-over charity shop playing cards suggesting prompts to proliferate identities. How much control do we really have over how we view others and how others in turn view us?
