The Dollhouse by Mae Dessauvage

The Dollhouse documents Mae Dessauvage's recent paintings and sculptures from 2023 to 2025. Herhouse-like works-occupied by introverted, cartooned figures-reinterpret the relationship between thebody and the architectural frame. Inspired by medieval altarpieces and contemporary manga, theseshaped panels unfold as intimate, spatial narratives. Her androgynous figures recall devotional icons andanime figurines alike, reframing the "doll" as a stand-in for transfeminine experience. This publication ofDessauvage's work blurs the boundary between the sacred and the bodily, the historical and the personal. The Dollhouse is part of Blurring Books' new series of publications, Limited Slim Publications(LSPs).
