Finding Place investigates material culture from the perspectives of Artists Cedar Marie and Rachel Bruya-Walker. Bruya-Walker creates miniature environments from fragments of memory that depict a place that is not clearly real or imagined, freezing the viewer in a state of inquiry. Marie creates forms that both mimic and alter cultural objects and their functions. Both artists address material culture as symbols for constructing and deconstructing meaning within diverse economic and political environments. This reflection becomes a vehicle for elegy, as well as a celebration of loss, yet implicitly still present lives.
