Filler, UIS Visual Arts Gallery, Springfield, IL, 2014

“Filler” presented a site responsive installation that utilized inherent architectural spaces in the gallery as finite areas that housed a meticulous and calculated organization of elements, both formal and physical. An implicit compulsion in the careful, thoughtful collection of a seemingly endless spectrum of materials speaks to the role of amassed objects in our capitalist, consumption-focused culture, and how such collections of stuff shape identity over time.
