Hollis Hammonds: Worthless Matter
Thursday, February 13, 5-7pm. Free and open to the public.
Reed Gallery, DAAP Complex
Exploring consumerist culture through evidence of accumulation, hoarding and collecting; piles of buildings, chairs and trash permeate the works of Hollis Hammonds. Since her childhood, a seemingly endless stream of tornadoes, floods and hurricanes, have inspired her work, as drifts of rubble lay in their wake. Ranging from documentary studies of storms and storm damage to sculptural wall drawings of crashing waves, her works often illustrate imaginary piles of debris left after fictional, natural, and man-made disasters.
Worthless Matter spans several years of creative work dealing with memory, material consumption, waste, catastrophe and superficial loss.
