The Dialpainters
The Dialpainters presents three oil paintings by Anne. One painting is on the face of a watch. The other two circular oil paintings depict a landscape and a black 1984 Corvette. Both paintings are inserted in to the doors of two metal safes, inset into another wall.
The door of one of the safes is cast in aluminum from a linoblock cut by Anne’s mother, Mary, depicting a clam digging scene. The other safe door bears an inscription of the holding company. In a nearby wall niche, lie a pair of gloves which, using RFID tags, act as keys. Each glove opens only one safe.
The video opens with a scene of actress Laurie and her granddaughter Vanessa in Laurie’s Corvette, recounting an episode in which Laurie’s visage was stolen after she responded to a classified ad for a jewelry model. Her images were used to create a viral Instagram account named Gran Holly. Another scene in the video shows a quiet afternoon moment in which Laurie cares for her own mother, Mona Lisa, who is re-learning to walk.
