Two female busts in the style of Roman marble sculptures occupy an ornate resin-cast shelf. Juxtaposed in their size difference, the artists use a hierarchical scale to represent status and authority. In doing so, the artists conceptualize the implications of Rome as the epitome of Western civilization and power. The work, part of the 2024 exhibition at the McNay Art Museum ‘Upward Mobility,’ was displayed in Le Point de Bascule (The Tipping Point), a large-scale installation featuring a dining table as the center focus. The table, heavily adorned with remnants of a feast, is absent of guests; furniture, sculptures, and taxidermy adorn the walls of the room, alluding to the beginnings of museums as “cabinets of curiosity,” with items taken from foreign countries.
