Paper doll drawings created by the artist and her sisters are enlarged and adorne with ceramics, fabrics and unwanted paintings.  Multimedia and other paraphernalia from the 1980s and 90s are secreted within the folds and layers.

The accompanying music video Mummy, featuring Ausikaitis and musician Nate Kinsella, ties together themes of trauma, escapism, and the collection of both memories and materials.
