Walmarts in Miniature

Interviewed in Hi Fructose Magazine, Snelling says she thinks her art taps into the collective unconscious:

"For the majority of the viewers, there is an idea and memory of a liquor store or a strip club. For instance, a liquor store sculpture can remind someone who grew up in Kentucky of the liquor store down the street, while it reminds another person of a liquor store in Bakersfield. The further away the "location" of the sculpture from the location and culture of where the work is exhibited, the more possibility there is that the viewer thinks of the generic idea of a place, the representations of that place they have seen in film, and their imagination of that place."

Snelling has a show that ends this week at the Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco.
