Flesh, Fixture, Feeling
This September Grizzly Grizzly is pleased to present Flesh, Fixture, Feeling, a three-person exhibition by Elliot Doughtie, Danni 翱鈥橞谤颈别苍, and Olivia Zubko. Within the intimate architecture of the home, we construct, deconstruct, and negotiate who we are. This exhibition reimagines how domestic and shared spaces shape identity formation and transformation. These private realms, such as the bathroom, the home gym, and the bedroom, serve as sanctuaries for daily rituals, sites of vulnerability, and thresholds for becoming. In contrast, shared spaces like locker rooms increase exposure and anxiety, demanding discretion as a means of survival. Through various forms of sculpture, each artist examines how public and private spaces reflect, challenge, and complicate our shifting identities.
Elliot Doughtie queers the locker room and bathroom from spaces of anticipation and anxiety into scenes of tenderness, ecstasy, and personal metamorphosis. His interdisciplinary sculptures confront the rough edges of industrial materials to evoke the soft, ever-changing trans body, rejecting binaries and proposing new possibilities for bodily knowledge.
Danni 翱鈥橞谤颈别苍鈥檚 assemblages, constructed from scavenged domestic debris, become speculative, cyborg forms that are fragile, queer, and interdependent. These bodies-in-flux rely on each other, reflecting the need for mutual care in a dystopian present. Her hybrid forms emphasize queer futures by blurring the line between organic and inorganic, the familiar and the strange.
Olivia Zubko鈥檚 porcelain sculptures reimagine bathroom fixtures as delicate, haunting witnesses to daily rituals of care, illness, shame, and healing. Drawing from the long history of 鈥渂athers鈥� in art history, Zubko鈥檚 work re-centers these objects as active participants in our personal stories, framing the bathroom as a stage where we perform private acts to discover ourselves.
Through material intimacy, speculative form, and quiet ritual, Doughtie, 翱鈥橞谤颈别苍, and Zubko invite us to reconsider the architecture of identity itself, asking: What does it mean to feel at home in one鈥檚 body? In doing so, the exhibition suggests that transformation is not only possible but also ongoing, messy, and deeply embedded in the spaces we inhabit every day.
