Unsustainable Systems
Fountain Gallery Lafayette, IN
I really enjoyed Alysha's show. The piece on the right of the previous image is my favorite. Her previous series, Visible Manufacture, inspired this series. I find the previous work even more interesting. She talked about how it inspired this show during the gallery talk that Molly and I attended.
In Visible Manufacture she worked in the IU Museum as a factory worker that constructs shirts and then secondly as a retail worker who sold these shirts in the gift shop. She is bringing to light the amount of work that goes into an item as simple as a white t-shirt. I appreciate that she can do this in such a interesting and poignant way.
While talking to her I also realized that she attended Purdue for undergrad and that I also knew her brother while I was in undergrad.
Here are a few images from her website of the previous work.
