UNDERBELLY

Underbelly: a solo exhibition at Public Functionary, 2018, Minneapolis, MN. Images by Christopher Selleck and the artist. All work created in 2018.
The exhibition, Underbelly, explores the materiality of human and non-human bodies. The work uses materials such as plaster, carpet padding, plastic, resin, silicone, fabric and LCD screens to create abstract forms that bulge beyond borders, slide over edges, and seep through cracks. This exhibition holds tension between the bounded form of a body’s perceived exterior and an unknowable interior world; between control and unruliness.
