Announcing the 2024 - 2025 BJC Resident Artist Cohort
Please stop by the BJC's gallery to see RE:PLAY by Katie Kameen before it closes May 24, 2024. Focused on the formal qualities of mass-produced items and how they can communicate intimate aspects of our lives, Katie has created a colorful collection of abstractions made entirely from secondhand and postconsumer plastics. Works in the exhibition contrast two worlds of plastic: the technicolor space of children's toys, and the neutral sophistication of functional household objects. As part of the exhibition Katie has a delectable selection of brooches and necklaces that would make a colorful addition to your jewelry collection.
