Lecture Series: Bryant Holsenbeck

Join artist Bryant Holsenbeck as she discusses her work in context with the upcoming artist residency and installation, which will be exhibited in the Mayer Gallery.

Bryant, an environmental artist, has been documenting the "stuff" of our society that we use once and throw away for over a decade. Americans create more garbage, per capita, than any other culture, yet we are blind to our waste. She collects many things, among them, bottle caps, credit cards, pencils, shoes and chopsticks. Bryant uses these everyday items to make work, which transforms the objects, which surprise us. We are used to using "stuff" once and then throwing it away. We may throw it away, but Bryant's work makes her aware of its continual impact.

This lecture will be held after the crow-making workshop that will be held from 4-6pm.
