Featuring ten artists, Everyday Alchemy brings together a selection of works that draw inspiration from things we interact with on a daily basis, whether that is evident in the content of the work or in the materials used to create it. Cardboard boxes, mud, and clothing, among other items, serve as the source material to which these artists apply their magic, transmuting the mundane into the extraordinary.
This exhibition includes Malia Jensen’s surreal reimagining of a lightbulb, Bonnie Bronson’s masterful, minimal constructions that reveal themselves to be made of humble cardboard upon closer inspection, Isaac Layman’s perfectly composed portraits of an Amazon box or refrigerator, and Mark R. Smith’s assembly of vinyl and clothing, which draws its form from the original layout of the World Trade Center.
