"Hybrids of antique décor and organic details stand alongside works on green-tinted plywood walls. The green color story extends to the sculptures, conjuring moist environments of algae and mold; and Scheele’s Green, a dye used in the 18th and 19th centuries made from copper and arsenic that poisoned its users, signifies polluted water tables. In Trosclair’s casts of antique furniture, architectural and domestic details merge with actual textiles, reborn as adaptive and psychedelic post-disaster amalgams. In Inheritance, an antique gilt mirror “grows” jacquard algae, and a pendant lamp case attaches itself like a barnacle, intimating high-water levels." - Veronica Cross
