黑料不打烊

The Boston Sculptors Gallery presents Imaginate by new member Amy Archambault, a multi-faceted exhibition featuring small interactive objects and large-scale works exploring the creation of play, the evolution of form, and the investigation of functionality. In her most recent work, the objects, tools, and gadgets we acquire as homeowners and 鈥渉omeimprovers鈥� populate Archambault鈥檚 visual lexicon. For the past two years, the artist has been renovating her own home, and much of her life has been dominated by the endless choosing of colors, hardware, and the right tools for the job. Beyond the mental exhaustion and over-saturation she鈥檚 experienced as a browser, designer, and decision maker, she has found delight in the possibility of acquired materials, objects, and tools to yield atypical alternative functionalities. Archambault has discovered a striking connection between her process of morphing and amalgamating objects, and the way children engage in 鈥減retend.鈥� Perhaps the loss of playfulness in one鈥檚 life pushes us toward the desire to create it ourselves.
