Chatter Phone | 24X24 Board
In the artist's words
This is a woman in a 'the call is coming from inside the house' type thriller. At one time every house had a telephone, and every baby had this toy to practice calling out.
If you have questions about the piece, feel free to message — happy to talk about it.
Robot human hybrid description
The face is pale and wide-eyed, lit cool against a near-black background of tangled shadows and structural debris. Heavy dark liner, parted lips, one eye cutting sideways — the look is dread held very still.
She's holding the handset of a Fisher-Price Chatterphone to her ear. The toy sits in the foreground in full detail: its dial, its two round eyes, its molded smirk. The cord is a coiled rust-orange. The contrast between that childhood object and the tension in her face is the whole piece.
The palette is dark teal, charcoal, and rust — with the face rendered in cold grey-green against warm brown sleeves. The brushwork is loose and gestural everywhere except her eyes, which are precise.
This is for someone who likes their nostalgia sharp-edged. It fits a gallery wall that already has some darkness in it — alongside horror film posters, surrealist work, or other character-driven illustration. It's also the kind of piece that reads differently once you've clocked the toy.
I mount these prints in my studio. Here are some features of the parts used:
- Archival cotton print
- Mounted to cradled art board
- Board is hand-cleaned and painted
- Hanging hardware included
- Sealed with brushed-on varnish
canvas wrap
