NO SLEEP THEME PARK
NO SLEEP THEME PARK (Metropolitan Arts Council, 2023 and Browsing Room, 2025, with Griffin Cordell) is an immersive exhibition centering on a narrative of suburban horror, memory, death, and dreamscapes.
It's 1994 in the suburbs of Georgia, where a family lives in a Sears kit house with yellow walls and dark wood trim, dark red carpet and checkered kitchen countertops. After the mysterious disappearance of their father, children Tina and Bobby awake to find themselves in No Sleep Theme Park, a spirit-world parallel of their home.
