Using reclaimed lawn chairs and white, rubber coated shelving units, “Symbiotic Nostalgia” by artist Liz Miller explores our desire to acquire such objects–and our constant need to get rid of them. As ubiquitous cast-away items no longer at the peak of their function and losing their form, these objects serve as a reminder of the things we live with daily…and the things we discard daily. Through weaving of the shelving units, the woven structures of the lawn chairs are echoed, while paint both highlights and negates the woven structures. Installed in the space, these objects create an environment that is at once familiar and surprising. This exhibit is open from November 9th to December 20th, 2023. Visit the Oresman Gallery, Hillyer Hall on weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Opening reception on November 9th at 4pm.
