The pieces are made by a lot of stuffed dolls that are sewed together over wood and wire frames. He uses stuffed dolls for metaphor and there also a lot of ironies on this installment piece.
It may look cute and colorful because of the stuffed dolls and all the colors. This installation is actually have a really deep meaning. Kelley is bringing the audience to fantasize. He's not only seizing cultures, but it is about the American cultures. The cultures which he thought he understood but the culture itself barely understood it.
The use layers represents the America's consumer. The multiple collection and varieties of colors is for luxury and life styles meanwhile, the irony of it all is that he used the cheapest stuff and lowest quality to create such a meaning for this installment.
How does it make me think about the world in a new way?
What I think about the world is what the world see is what they get when it's not really IT!
For example, when my eyes see this piece it's just layers of stuffed dolls and pretty colors when it's not really it. It's something that has a really deep meaning about a cultures but only a few people want to analyze it.
And it applies the same thing to people. They need to stop judging by how it looks like or how it's made, the world need to start seeing WHY it's made.
