Ultraviolenceland, created in 2004 for the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, steals its name from the book "A Clockwork Orange", which uses the word to describe recreational violence. Ultaviolenceland is a horribly backwards fantasyland, rich and excessive. The gold castles are an obvious symbol of empire, and the bloodsucking vampires are a parasitical army that feeds on violence and destruction. The dark forest surrounding Ultraviolenceland symbolizes subconcious fear, things we can't control, while inside the city princesses trapped in giant dresses slash wrists and down pills, not entirely happy with their pristine but ultraviolent world.
