A love letter from Joan
Darling,
Have you ever noticed how the sacred and the scandalous make perfect bedfellows? Here I give you a nun, a bikini, a Crisco tin, and a television set—because why not serve fried chicken with your morality play? The absurdity hums like static, and yet, doesn’t it feel oddly familiar? This piece is both a confession and a commercial break, a delicious reminder that virtue and vice have always shared the same kitchen.
“Crisco Dreams” by Joan Seed is a bold digital collage in the language of retro surrealism. A witty fusion of mid-century advertising, religious imagery, and consumer pop culture, this work interrogates the intersection of desire, television, and domestic Americana. Perfect for collectors of dark humor art, retro surrealism, and pop-culture inspired collage, it offers a provocative conversation starter for galleries, interior designers, and high-end private collections.
