The Dollhouse documents Mae Dessauvage's recent paintings and sculptures from 2023 to 2025. Her
house-like works-occupied by introverted, cartooned figures-reinterpret the relationship between the
body and the architectural frame. Inspired by medieval altarpieces and contemporary manga, these
shaped panels unfold as intimate, spatial narratives. Her androgynous figures recall devotional icons and
anime figurines alike, reframing the "doll" as a stand-in for transfeminine experience. This publication of
Dessauvage's work blurs the boundary between the sacred and the bodily, the historical and the personal.
The Dollhouse is part of Blurring Books' new series of publications, Limited Slim Publications
(LSPs).
