Origin

Origin follows the adventures of Dennis –a superhero-obsessed boy—when he is dragged to his father’s office for ‘Take Your Child to Work Day.’ Like any excitable seven-year-old, he quickly gets bored with sitting still and waiting for his father to return. When he tries to entertain himself by drawing his favorite superhero, he reaches for a pencil and accidentally activates a hidden tripwire—sending him careening down a trapdoor into a dark, mysterious cavern. Confronted with a tall, imposing steel door, Dennis crosses the threshold and discovers that his beloved world of heroes and villains was a lot closer to home than he ever could have dreamed!

Ramblings

Ramblings depict a number of distorted 3D characters moving about in a scrap land. I built the scene in a game engine, and captured the events taking place there with virtual cameras. It is a collage of forms and functions, with textures and animations applied incorrectly. This material was obtained from public domain libraries, low budget game asset stores and preset banks. Mythological shapes show up in a haphazard and contextless way, mirroring the image flow of the internet era and the mental processes involved when making meaning of the world.

A small polar bear, Ursa, is alone in the cold, dark Arctic, searching for his mother. He braves a fierce blizzard, crosses the frozen tundra, and navigates jagged ice hummocks, following the northern lights and a magical song that fills him with hope. After many trials, he reaches the edge of the earth, where only the vast sea and shimmering northern lights lie ahead. And there, in the distance, glowing within the northern lights, he finally catches sight of his mother!

SOS

SOS (2021) was presented as part of “This End the Sun,” on view at the New Museum from June 30–October 3, 2021. Strafer’s SOS (2021) interweaves fantastical scenes with the artist’s autobiography to address themes of human cruelty, power, and futility. The work cycles through scenes of night and day, with dolls as protagonists: a girl seemingly stranded on a snowy beach, an elderly man on a medical stretcher, and two EMTs who attend to him. Strafer employs strategies of doubling, interchangeability, and scale shifts, with large hands occasionally swooping down to animate, caress, and bathe the dolls—perhaps in acts of care and/or control.
