Welcome to the Dollhouse

 Jepson Center
The eleventh annual Boxed In/Break Out features five large-scale wooden dollhouses filled with wallpaper patterns by Joanna Paige Silver (b. 1988). Inspired by her own memories, experiences, and photo diaries, Silver creates nostalgic domestic scenes often in states of disrepair. Imbued with vibrant patterns and paired with floral imagery, Silver’s works evoke the oscillating feelings of disappointment and unwavering hope. In this installation, the bright backgrounds pay homage to the character of the homes found in Savannah but also reflect the disappointment of the housing crisis which has made it difficult for many Americans to reach the milestone of owning a home as an adult.
