Allyson Klutenkamper

     Was born in Missouri but was raised in Minnesota. She now lives and works in Ohio. Klutenkamper work normally is of women in domestic spaces that are have no connection to the subject. She uses these scenes to make a fractured narrative that represents different emotions, while also utilizing the concept of beauty as an experience rather then a condition.
     This piece is from Klutenkemper's  work called Domicile. There is a sense of sacrifice in the work. That the limited view of the narrative, creates the feel that it is a personal sacrifice that is being made. I feel that the work is about loss or the falling apart of a situation. Being that the majority of Klutenkemper's work focuses on  isolation, anxiety and despair in domestic situations, i feel that the work is about the sacrifice of a women in which something has gone badly in the home.
     I chose this work because i found it visually interesting but also  because i liked that the artist was wanted to invoke not only an understanding of the situation but also invoke a emotional exchange with the viewer.
