Forest makes art like a mad scientist with no shortage of ingredients to mash up. In an act of nurture, for example, the slab on which Frankenstein’s monster rests is no different than a canvas, sheet of paper, or computer screen. At present Forest has stitched together sixteen 1930’s era black and white Betty Boop cartoon segments that he frame by frame colored and remixed with vintage floral textile patterns to construct a video quilt. Also featured is a larger than life reclaimed and revamped fiberglass Betty Boop sculpture. These works as well as others in his current series play with notions of culture, celebration, and identity.
