About the Item
Roleke creates politically aware work. Her wall reliefs are composed of multitudes of plastic toys, oddly sexualized Disney characters and Happy Meal trinkets. Through investigation of popular culture, gender, the consumerism of childhood, and war itself, viewers are brought into an uncomfortable juxtaposition of pop culture and verisimilitude.
