Varvara Nedeoglo
Turnstile Tsarevna
The trash-heap sovereign seated on the throne obstructs citizens’ passage and administers the sacrament of its crackpot power to anyone who dares pass through the stairwell landing. Mixed media (trash, plastic, glitter, aluminum foil, food, collage, rubber beer cap liners, traditional kokoshnik headdress, scepter, orb, real live person, and menacing scowl).
