Chirpy Fur / 2015

Redux Contemporary Art Center

Charleston, South Carolina

Chirpy Fur was exhibition designed for Redux Contemporary Art Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Sculptor Constantin Brancusi said “To keep one’s art young one must imitate young animals. What do they do? They play.” Chirpy fur embraces the art’s essential element of play in art while considering it’s potential opposites: organization, ritual, and work.The collection of works use materials that speak to this dualism. Soft furs are paired with playful colored forms in organized patterns. Bold geometric objects are lined on top of a work table. These works express a tension in that is all looks playful, yet it’s not playful at all.
