Sarah Contos
Total Control

Like a child trying to be an adult, dressing up and using materials to fake it, she makes what she thinks she wants but can’t have—our consumerist dilemma par excellence—trying but failing to be a domestic goddess hosting dinner parties, with the décor, accoutrements and attitude just right.
