Blue Monster foreshadows Hovnanian’s childhood of growing up in a household with an alcoholic father, where every hour was “happy hour.” She signifies this idea with a breakfast platter at first glance but furthermore deep in the layers of her work you will find repetitions of clocks set precisely to five p.m. The pink words “help” linger out of a school bus and covered by the words “I’m fine” indicating the facade Hovnanian would have to put on outside the doors of her own home.
