About

Kade Doll is an installation artist who creates environments that draw from the language of production design and puppeteering to tell humorous stories about the transition from childhood into adulthood. Their work ranges from the sculptural to the two-dimensional, and the style of the work often has a kitschy or handmade quality, incorporating materials like cardboard, foam, yarn and fabric. Doll creates environments that act like sets or scenes within the gallery space. Using the structure of production design to curate spaces, their work can be viewed as a theatrical form of entertainment. Doll sees all of the artwork in their installations as props, and the gallery space as the stage. The viewers become the actors, and the scene becomes how they interact with the work.
