THE NUDIST MUSEUM GIFTSHOP (2012)

A companion installation for the Nudist Museum that focuses on the nude in the applied arts. The paintings are in “departments” grouped by subject matter (knives, lamps, ashtrays, mugs etc.). The subjects of the paintings were found by searching for “nude” on Ebay and eliminating all fine art objects.
