Haley Hasler

The painstakingly precise details of Hasler's self-portraits of domestic life curiously amplify their mythic quality. In one portrait, decked out in a polka-dotted, one-piece bathing suit, the woman deftly handles two snakes with elbow-length white gloves. Another painting depicts the artist dreaming of an alternate version of the family vacation. Pay close attention to the minutiae in these works, and you'll be rewarded.
