About

_There are two horses in the house. One has blocky toffee hair and one has creamy hair._ _Upstairs is where heaven is, and a giant orange butterfly as long as a bathtub. The upstairs balcony looks over the horses, and a little blue pig next to a neon yellow towel, and a seal with every hair pointing in the same direction._ _At the end of the long hallway there is a small room with deep, spongy carpet. Watching TV and a plate with the picture of an old woman on it. Why would you turn someone into a plate._ \-Caitlyn Au Drawing from memories rich in the details of place, Caitlyn Au builds environments that constrict and direct the audience's view. A massive framework of fence materials conceals a surprising tableaux nestled within. Au brings to the garden of The Arts Club of Chicago a secret relic of her past, visible from just two vantage points. As if experienced through a stereoscope, the warped scene places the viewer in a nostalgic mindscape of the artist's invention.
