The Athenaeum

The Athenaeum was created for a professor who works from home and wanted a fabulous Dark Academia office.

Solo Funky Gaudmother, AmbeR, started envisioning stately home libraries brimming with dramatic shelves full of beautiful books, where womyn wearing excellent trousers (with pockets) could gather after a formal meal to relax, commune, and share their dreams and wisdom.

This installation included floor-to-ceiling quirky bookshelves, a hidden closet door, a custom faux stained glass window paying homage to the client’s culture and personality, a deep resin desktop fille with real poisonous plant samples and snakeskin!

Alien Envoy

Alien Envoy was created for clients who love aliens (the non-scary kind) and also requested the space be accommodating for their cats… and then they turned us loose to let our imaginations run wild!

We transformed this bathroom into the interior of a spaceship featuring MANY “easter egg” sci-fi pop culture references, as well as a slideshow of the “evidence” collected by otherworldly beings that the Cats of earth are the shot-callers behind every major disaster and advancement on the planet.

Carnivorous

Plant

Disco

This teeny-tiny powder room showcases just how much funk can fill a petite space! The Funky Gaudmothers created original artwork with the handpainted venus-flytrap damask, the pitcherplant wall pieces, the fully-funktional disco plant habitats, the recycled plastics light fixture, and the show-stopping vinyl wrapped throne! This installation also features artwork by several of our favorite dance partners.

Davy Jones

Locker

Our Davy Jones Locker installation was a Dream Scheme come-to-life! This surreal underwater afterlife includes a deconstructed floating chandelier, an incredible barnacle encrusted mirror custom made by the Gaudmothers from salvaged materials, a serene spa shower, magnetic pirate poetry interactive, and an original painting by Shawn Ramos.

Interconnectedness

Mutual Aid

Under a beautiful aesthetic, this full bathroom has an impactful statement about mutual aid and standing up for each other. We are all intrinsically interconnected and, much like ants, all succeed when everyone does well.
