Sandy Skoglund — Coat Hangers
Sandy Skoglund

Coat Hangers

Sandy Skoglund's *Coat Hangers* is a meticulously constructed dye destruction print that immerses viewers in a surreal, hyperreal environment overrun by an abundance of identical coat hangers. The work exemplifies Skoglund's signature style of building elaborately staged, dreamlike tableaux in which everyday objects are multiplied to an uncanny and overwhelming degree. The rich, saturated colors achieved through the dye destruction process intensify the disorienting tension between the familiar and the bizarre.
