Description by the gallery owner

Rice's work references a typical cartoon character: Mickey Mouse. The artist traps him under a cloth, essentially turning him into an abstract toy soldier. Magritte would have done the same by covering the faces of the two lovers with a veil. Perhaps the same poetics of dematerializing the visual feature through a material covering is manifested here. Barbara Kruger produced a work in which a face bore the caption "Your gaze hits the side of my face." A narrative of metaphysical contact will gradually consolidate throughout Rice's work. The artist's choice to distance herself from the idea of easy and safe consumerism also draws on a certain need for intimacy.
