An Artist Who Turned Her Bedroom Closet Into a Safe Haven
Briefly

At 52 Walker, Stingily has built a set of closets into the gallery's walls, filling each one with found materials that explore shame, sexiness, desire, and yearning.
One installation, Orgasms Happened Here (Hot Girl), was inspired by the artist's teenage bedroom closet, acting as a sanctuary from strict family dynamics, exploring self-identity and lack of agency for Black women.
Stingily reflects on the objectification of women in relation to cars, emphasizing the lack of agency over bodies for many Black women and the impact of societal norms on self-perception.
