VIDEO: Tracey Snelling

Artist Tracy Snelling’s recent sculpture-video-mixed media- building-neighborhood corner- miniature replicas, last on view at PULSE NYC, are powerhouses in their own right.  Immediately captivating, the work brings out the nosy busy-body in all of us. Tracey’s mash-up of miniature replicas of actual buildings, infused with clues that suggest an imagined storyline surrounding the buildings inhabitants, encourages the fantastical in viewers who happen upon her work.  Most compelling are the mini video pieces launched in the windows of the buildings.  The viewer gets to become the voyeur of both Tracey’s mind and building occupants, living out lives full of romance, partying, conversation, or sheer mystery.
