Sandy Skoglund — The Green House and Setter Lying Down
Sandy Skoglund

The Green House and Setter Lying Down

Sandy Skoglund's meticulously constructed tableau depicts a domestic interior rendered in an eerie, monochromatic green palette, where every surface — from furniture to walls — is consumed by the same unsettling hue. A lifelike setter dog reclines within the space, its sculpted form crafted from painted polyester resin, blurring the boundary between the artificial and the real. The archival pigment print captures Skoglund's signature surrealist vision, transforming the familiar concept of home into a dreamlike, otherworldly environment that challenges perception and comfort.

Medium
Archival pigment print, printed later and polyester resin painted sculpture.
