In her series of sculptures, one of which is shown here, Davis combines retail products of “traditional femininity” (however recent their formulation or vintage) to form impressions that evoke the primordial, like a relic of an L.A. drag scene discovered in the La Brea Tar Pits, its color, scent, and unabashedness intact.
