WINNER: PATTY CARROLL

PROUDLY PRESENT
THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER 
OF HER STORY: 

PATTY CARROL

Patty Carroll’s work is at once amusing, disturbing, satirical and thought-provoking. Each image tells a compelling story, or chapter, of domestic reality in a modern context for the women in domestic society. Carroll grapples with issues of closeted comfort, domestic servitude and the chaos that can come with simply managing a family. And how numbing that can be. Like a modern-day Louise Bourgeois, Carroll is defining and framing the cage...

“Anonymous Women: Demise The subject is the conflation of woman and home. The woman is camouflaged among her domestic objects, activities, and obsessions. The still-life narratives comment on the mania of collecting, accumulating, and decorating a home. In the series, the objects take over, and the woman is crushed by her own possessions, leading to disaster and mayhem.   Growing up in suburbia provides the basis of my work. I photographically create worlds that critique and satirize claustrophobic expectations of perfection that women continue to face, in spite of contemporary life and careers.”

We are honored to present Patty Carroll,
her work, and her story.

Congratulations, Patty!
