About The Work
Performance, role-playing, and humor are all key components of Casey Jane Ellison’s multidimensional work. Her practice is characterized by an acerbically post-feminist sensibility and a keenly nuanced appreciation of current popular culture. Her Casey Jane Ellison Personal Trimmer Internal Promo (2015) project uses the style and approach featured in television “infomercials” to promote and sell a fictional appliance intended for women to remove unwanted hair from both publicly visible places on the body and those that are more …discreet. Ellison’s humorously frank presentation of the product comically criticizes the awkwardness and difficulty that corporate manufacturers often have in marketing products to women as well as the priorities placed on certain standards of an ideally feminine body image.
