In the Cafe: Jamie Brinker, Favorite Child: Four Legs and an Attitude

From Violet Maimbourg’s Artist Statement: “Your Love Is My Favorite Carnival serves as an episodic, illustrative journey, navigating interpersonal relationships with myself and others. These sculptural objects serve as physical embodiments of my emotional experiences – they exist as sculpture and self-portraiture. Using the visual language of carnival games, funhouse attractions, and retro amusement-park theatrics, the work examines how humor, spectacle and fun can mask the nightmare of intense emotional dysregulation that comes with having Borderline Personality Disorder.”
Jamie Brinker is a printmaker and painter from Cleveland, Ohio, who received their BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Her work is a social critique of misogynistic behaviors using humor and anthropomorphism. In her recent body of work, she paints and prints images of dogs getting into mischief with speech icons. Brinker examines how everyday relationships and cultural attitudes shape our understanding of gender, power, and identity, drawing from family experiences and contemporary life.
