Don’t Wake Mom & Dad explores the often eerie and uncomfortable recollection of childhood, nostalgia, gender expectations, and self-identity. 

In the recreation of an American nuclear family, we use iconography often associated with mediums of vintage or analog horror to re-frame the gallery’s collection of art and advertisements. This juxtaposition of art, memory, childhood, and horror is used to analyze how societal mechanizations shape us, and how the assumption of a gendered binary experience gives little leeway for creativity, empathy, and growth. 

Don’t Wake Mom & Dad features the work of Darcie Blake, Fernanda Diaz, and Zack Fontaine.

This page will highlight only some of the work created by Zack.
