fox games, 1989, color photograph, 46x63, the green house, 1990, color photograph, 46x59, revenge of the goldfish, 1981, color photograph, 27.5x35

one of my all time favorite artists. i grew up with a postcard of revenge of the goldfish on my bedroom bulletin board-had it for years and stared at it all the time....simply fascinated with the stunning color and super weirdness of it. as an older, educated art person, i still find her work fascinating and most appreciate her fun use of repetition and materials...see more here.

  1. Her installations are fantastic. I've always like this one: http://insomni-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/sandy-skoglund.jpg. Saw it in person at the Joslyn in Omaha many years ago. The eggs as flooring are wonderful.

  3. I love Sandy Skoglund. I have fantasies about doing some kind of installation in my backyard that is Skoglund-esque.
