A love letter from Joan
Darling,
I’ve always said if you can't silence the noise in your head, you might as well plug it in and let it whip cream. Why not multitask? You were never built to rest anyway, were you?
Love, Joan

“Overthinker” is a surrealist feminist collage by Joan Seed that takes the kitchen appliance and puts it exactly where it belongs: in your head. With an icy stare and a beatific smirk, our chrome-domed heroine endures the whirring madness of modern womanhood—equal parts beauty, burnout, and stand mixer.
Joan Seed’s signature pop-surrealism dismantles domestic tropes with razor-sharp wit, here turning a 1950’s hand mixer into a visual metaphor for mental overload. Set against a luscious magenta backdrop, the piece is both playful and biting, polished and unhinged. A perfect acquisition for collectors of dark humour, surrealist feminist art, and satirical social commentary.
This limited-edition work blends mid-century vintage aesthetics with modern malaise, and it belongs on the wall of anyone who's ever had too many tabs open—in life or in Chrome..
