Featuring work by Adam Mitchell. "For this show, artists are challenged to combine two seemingly discordant ideas into one finished artwork. The goal is to discover the unexpected when opposing forces occupy the same physical space. The focus should be on the coalescing of ideas, not mediums." My work: The concept of "Consumer Emissions" is rooted in Buddhism's Four Noble Truths. At the root of suffering is attachments, which associates with desire or the need for consumption. It requires a desire to act on, or need, consumption, and I represent these abstract actions with surreal imagery, like strings or worms reaching out and consuming or attaching to raw materials or the natural environment. Though the focus in the work isn't strictly on consumption, it also focuses on a byproduct of consumerism, which is emissions. The process of developing raw materials into a marketable product creates emissions. And as well, for everything we consume, there is an equal byproduct of waste or emissions, whether environmentally productive or not. Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed; that which is consumed must emit or transform into something new, which often is pollution. The question is, are our emissions destructive or productive to our environment or raw materials, and does it matter? [...]
