About the artwork
An array of couples lounge on deck chairs, soaking up the sun by the water. Captured from above, the scenes blend bodies and chairs in a mosaic where gender becomes ambiguous and limbs occasionally twist into odd forms, but the universal pleasure of a sunny day is unmistakable.

Listen to Alsoguppyme discuss this work.
Alsoguppyme makes surreal images out of the ordinary, twisting them until they feel both funny and unsettling. Midlife shifts leak into the work — the cracks, the restlessness, the changes you don’t quite have words for. She follows those glitches as they turn into strange reflections of daily life.
