Tiers on My Pillow, a tiered wedding cake, is cut open to reveal the interior of a dollhouse, as a moving image is played from its spinning bottom tier. The thickly-iced exterior of the cake can be licked by viewers, enacting a sense of group pleasure and decadence. Shrunken images and queer and trans doll figures contained in the interior of the cake use scale to play with alternative reality. Dolls rest in a large bed atop the cake, signifying the extendedness of "chosen families" in queer social structuring. By playing with the dollhouse, viewers can embody non-normative dollhouse characters and to measure playful imagination against socialized expectations of straight time. The traditional symbol of the wedding cake is used to reframe what "forever" can look like, an architectural structure meant to represent queer decadence and polyamorous social structures.
