Kaari Upson's nuanced exploration of mattresses is a profound meditation on the imprints left by human existence—both literal and metaphorical. Coming from the ‘Larry Project’ series, Upson delves into the fictional life of a character using mattresses as a central motif to explore the complex interplay between personal history, psychological landscapes, and the tangible artefacts of domestic spaces. Upson (b. 1970 – d. 2021) was an American artist whose career was devoted to a single series, 'The Larry Project', encompassing paintings, installations, performances, and films inspired by a collection of one man's personal items she found in 2003. Her work resides in the public collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and is known for exploring themes of psychoanalysis, obsession, memory, and the body. She lived and worked in Los Angeles.
