Amy Boone McCreesh’s maximal collage and installation works consider the signifiers of class and beauty from the inside looking out. Through the use of lavish colors and textures, the conversations conveyed in her work bring up questions of what makes for good taste, what is considered gaudy, and who gets to decide that. Formed subconsciously, often inherited through one’s lineage and reinforced by architecture itself, how people design their homes and what they consider fashionable is informed by upbringing. There is an aspirational quality to McCreesh’s playful works, that spill out of their frames and onto walls with joy and defiance. By harnessing harmoniously clashing overdecoration, McCreesh subversively negates cultural markers of luxury and mass production, training an eye on the psychological and often revealing nesting instinct.
