① Artwork:
Sleepy Girl
This work depicts a dog-human hybrid taking a midday nap in a softly lit bedroom next to a cramped nightstand. This work is part of a series that features anthropomorphized dog/human hybrids. These figures serve as stand-ins for the artist and the people in her life. Seibert uses lamp-black gouache to paint these characters in dreamlike vignettes.
Each of the works in this series are derived from an unfinished comic that the artist has mostly kept private. The works in this series combine autobiographical elements with fantasy to explore the artist’s psyche—creating a loose narrative bound by themes of existential dread, desire, societal performance and insurgency.
