SHIFTING UTILITY :: Shannon Rae Lindsey

Main Gallery

July 13, 2019

The exhibition embodies notions of disorder through man-made construction materials that challenge their conventional context, setting, and function. I hope to inspire reflection on the role of perception when understanding utility and entropy. The materials will reiterate a sense of irreversible change through physical manipulations and forms installed throughout the space.

Through installation, sculpture, and drawing, my work embodies notions of order and disorder with man-made construction materials that challenge their conventional context, setting, and utility. I hope to inspire reflection on the role of perception when understanding utility and entropy. By exhibiting these materials outside of their traditional context, I encourage viewers to consider the definitions of useful, useless, ordered, and disordered as elusive and subject to change through perception and comparison. These terms may never be entirely true nor entirely false; they exist somewhere between.
