Laurie Simmons — The Long House (Red Bathroom/ Blue Figure)
Laurie Simmons

The Long House (Red Bathroom/ Blue Figure)

A staged domestic interior bathed in vivid red tones depicts a lone blue figure navigating a meticulously arranged bathroom space. Laurie Simmons employs her signature use of dollhouse environments and miniature figures to explore themes of femininity, domesticity, and psychological isolation. The rich, saturated colors achieved through the dye destruction print process heighten the uncanny tension between the artificiality of the setting and its eerily familiar emotional resonance.

Medium
