ponyplay by Elyse Myskohlid

Elyse Myskohlid

ponyplay is about control, autonomy, and parallels. my practice explores intimacies between personal and societal desire for control and how that control impacts notions of domestication. my collection reflects today’s fascination with medieval torture, the notion of pain as divination, and the spectacle of female suffering. the material use, often associated with protection and discipline, are reworked into forms that express strength, sensuality, and metamorphosis. ponyplay explores control through the parallels seen between the treatment of women and the treatment of animals in a male-centric system in which men view women as creatures in pursuit of taming and dominating.
