Suzanne Husky's installations resemble playrooms where the dolls have broken loose. But the miniature worlds she creates, rife with greed and environmental angst, aren't always kid-friendly. Rows and rows of tiny, hand-sewn Chinese workers line up in pink cotton lab coats and blue aprons to turn out product; Berkeley tree-sitters perch on fabric oak branches with flower-patterned leaves; Mexican construction workers build flimsy houses out of balsa wood. Throughout, Husky's penchant for humor wraps her wryly critical commentary in a warm and fuzzy package. Along with the exhibit, Triple Base hosts a dinner lecture with the artist.
