All Possible Futures
Kim Holleman
All Possible Futures
SLC Gallery
I am able to construct fantastical scale scenes by taking materials directly from the physical environment of everyday life. Almost everything I make contains culled, gathered, remade, reused, reshaped and ultimately re-contextualized materials I find along the way. By utilizing objects and materials from our everyday lives, I am able to contemplate and muse over our relationship to nature and our consumerist, product-based culture.
I find a compulsive beauty in the vivid colors, patterns and textures of mass produced objects, shiny packaging and an endless list of materials we produce and consume on a daily basis. Like everyone else, I am growing increasingly aware of the toll our consumerist lifestyles take on the natural world.
Within my landscapes, you can find both tensions and harmonies between the beauty of the natural world and the attractive artificiality of man-made objects. Some are dark and foreboding scenes and some are lush and almost utopian. I am rendering life at the cusp, before we have gone too far, where all possible futures are represented.
