Mickey Oscar Boyd: Wall Works

Opening reception on Friday, February 7 from 6 - 8pm

After a recent trip to the Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo, Norway, Boyd became fascinated with the vernacular folk architecture of the region. For his atrium commission, Boyd wanted to use contemporary materials to create an architectural form referencing the Norwegian lofts he experienced.

Larissa McPherson: Speculative Adornment

Opening reception on Friday, February 7 from 6 - 8pm

Plastic has become an unwitting colonizer of the natural body and ecosystem. Throughout time, humans have extracted fossil fuels to create plastic materials. Over time, these man-made materials break down and migrate microscopically. Through their abandonment, an act of our human carelessness, plastics on a microscopic level have started to act of their own accord and seek reunion with the earth in any way possible, unknowingly causing pain and discord in the lives of animals. This crisis has spared no species.
