Surreal twist on Alice’s Mad Hatter— a child playfully presses a red button, merging whimsy with chaos in bold colors.

Pushing Buttons (with Mad Hatter)

Collaborative painting by Dana Ellyn & Matt Sesow.

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this painting captures Alice mischievously “pushing buttons” while the Mad Hatter spirals beside her — a nod to the link between mercury exposure and the original “mad hatter” lore. It is in response to the recent news of mercury being removed from flu shots, blending whimsy with timely commentary.


This one’s for everyone we’ve gotten a rise out of this month ... in the current climate where controversy sparks quicker than reason.
