The Matriarch's Rhapsody

Jacolby Satterwhite’s mother, Patricia Satterwhite, would often sketch her own inventions and unique objects, as if designing them for QVC infomercials. Featuring the artist’s three-dimensional renderings of these objects, The Matriarch's Rhapsody reimagines and documents Patricia’s inventions. The objects are accompanied by her original sketches, family photographs, and the artist’s own computer-animated performance work. Satterwhite often inserts himself into his work, pointing to relationships between individual and collective histories, as well as real and imagined experiences.
