Spite House centers on DD Herschlein’s photograph Burning the Universal Facade, using the image of a burning studio set to reflect on spite as resistance. Sculptures, paintings, and salvaged materials—including fencing from Altadena after the 2025 fires—recast suburban structures such as fences, gazebos, and birdhouses as mechanisms of control and surveillance. Layered installations invite viewers to peer, move, and reflect on power, dignity, and dissent.
