Mud Pie, Hovnanian’s 2012 solo exhibition, includes large-scale installations, sculpture, mixed media, paintings, and photography that explore the blurring of reality. The exhibition posits that individuals constantly revise memories, editing and reinterpreting them to fit the narrative of our invented identities - identities that, at their core, were first encoded in the sights, sounds, and smells of early childhood. This powerful narrative begins with a photograph, Texas Mud Pie, Hands and Feet, and finishes informed by the unfiltered world of digital technology with the sculptural work Gates of Narcissus metal panels and Motherboards. The viewer is invited into the artist's dream state as she identifies commonplace views of her early childhood in Texas.
