Brittany Adeline King: Dokafleh

Dokafleh is a new conjuring of dolls by New York City based artist Brittany Adeline King. Coining its name from the Liberian colloquial phrase for a reworn garment, the exhibition explores the fashions of reinterpretation. Carefully constructed with archival images, lappas, found objects and video; Dokafleh considers the responsibility to keep record through rendered silhouettes punctuated by pattern and histrionics. The figures are held together through hand sewn joins, suggesting a weight shaped by accumulation, reconciliation, and repair.
