Things I Want From IKEA

2014-2016
Things I Want From IKEA is a series of small works on paper about desire and the dream of a nice home. Started as a joke, these quick and crude sketches have become a crucial research component to my studio practice, with these drawings exploring normative desires, objecthood and thingness, consumption, and sincerity.
