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.
