Dino Diner: Equal Parts Jurassic and Juke Box
Project type
Mixed media on canvas
Date
2025
Location
Memphis, TN
Kitsch, nostalgia, and absurdity come together over cheeseburgers and milkshakes, as each tiny time-traveling dino navigates the oddities of the modern world. Viewers are invited to imagine a world where dinosaurs never went extinct, they just discovered coffee!
Each playful mixed-media collage on canvas, starts with found diner images to which is added plastic dinosaurs, snarky speech bubbles, glitter, and more to create a chrome-trimmed, ketchup-bottled world of the classic 1950s.
These tiny, ridiculous dinosaurs—caught in moments of confusion, conversation, and cosmic mishap—become stand-ins for all of us trying to make sense of our daily lives. After all, who hasn’t had a “How did I get here?” kind of day?
A collision of epochs, they're campy and caffeinated. “Check [them out], please!”
