Linda Dolack has spent her professional lifetime combining humor and visual exaggeration as a means of celebrating contemporary popular culture. For the past decade, she has focused her lens primarily on food, both necessary and central to all human existence. Dolack points her finger specifically at the most heavily marketed, highly coveted ‘junk’ foods as well as other commodities found in grocery stores that foster comfort and communal desire. Discarded food wrappers, boxes, cans and jars are covered with glass beads, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals and sequins, each hand-stitched or glued.
Statement
I’m fascinated with American popular culture, and have chosen to concentrate on the way in which processed or “junk foods” progress from introduction to icon in a relatively short span of time. Many well-loved, but not necessarily healthy foods, trigger a response indicated by high sales numbers. It is essential for me to use humor and color in my work and that is where I believe viewers will find my underlying intention.
