PROCESS IN PRODUCT: WORK FROM SUMMER STUDIO
Sullivan Galleries, 33. S. State Street
Reception: Friday, September 10, 4:30–7:00 p.m.

"This exhibition features new work created by artists in Summer Studio - a residency program that turned the Sullivan Galleries into a site of making, and brought together artists Chicago and beyond into a temporary creative community. The studio offers artists a time to take stock of things a shift direction, carry out plans long dreamed about and make them real, and move through the sometimes circuitous modes of conversation and coexistence to find a personal path. Now invited to open their processes for public engagement, the outcomes - the products of their summer residency in Sullivan - are on view here."

I will be an artist-in-residence in the Sullivan Galleries as part of Summer Studio, which invites a group of working artists from Chicago and beyond to engage in an open exploration of process and community. I will be occupying a studio in the gallery for the next few weeks, during which I plan to explore themes of waste, weather, and atmosphere through a series of objects, installations, and written/sound pieces. You can find updates on the project blog here. I am looking forward to collaborating with Sayward Schoonmaker and Heather McShane, who will be joining me in the studio, and to getting to know the other artists working in the space.
