“Boot Bonanza”, a hand-bedazzled gumball machine in siam-Swarovski stones, sits atop a hand-painted pedestal, reading “Why be moody when you can shake your booty?” By incorporating the concept of exercise as a mood booster, Simmons invites us to explore the connection between physical movement, happiness, and self-expression. Further underscoring this message are the contents of the machine, not your typical candies or childhood treats, but instead a cornucopia of doll-size high heeled boots in patriotic hues of red and blue. The playful nature of the artwork suggests that one can find liberation and joy by embracing the power of movement and perhaps a little retail therapy - as one of the most common reasons women buy uncomfortably tall shoes are to make their derrières look more attractive.The pedestal sides also mirror and expand on this motif, as Simmons has included a hand painted cowboy boot with a heart in the center, resulting in a joyful sculpture where onlookers are encouraged to boogie the blues away.
