Junk Drawer
We live surrounded by things. In Junk Drawer, artists Caddy Burns, Abby Johnson, and Sarah Stellman honor the disorganized, lingering existence of the objects that populate our daily lives, providing a window into the mundane through paintings, textiles, and sculpture. These artists mine their personal and collective memories to create a visual shorthand, a usable vocabulary of symbols and emblems.
The resulting works speak to the influence of the objects that accumulate in our domestic spaces, pass through our lives, and mark our mental landscapes. Junk Drawer invites us to assess our relationships with domestic objects and spaces while considering how these familiar items function within the economy of our daily lives.
