Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites Plush toys sewn over wood and wire frames with styrofoam packing material, nylon rope, pulleys, steel hardware, fiberglass, car paint, and disinfectant. Overall dimensions variable. Stuffed animals sewn face-in and clustered into organic masses, surrounded by “deodorizer” sculptures that release pine scent — Kelley’s subversive exploration of nostalgia, abjection, and the uncanny in American culture.
