"Kathryn Spence: Wild"
1999-07-30 until 1999-10-24
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
Kansas City, MO, USA United States of America

California artist Kathryn Spence looks to the detritus of our lives for her source materials. She has rendered pigeons out of newspapers and shaped them with tiny wires and bits of string, crafting the pigeons from the very materials in which these city dwellers spend their lives. Spence's monumental mud animals are simultaneously tender and haunting. By covering pastel stuffed animals in old bathrobes and then building them up from mud, Spence suggests there is life and memory in the material that become discards. References to homelessness and powerlessness can be read in her nostalgic yet powerful works. Spence's exhibition will fill half of the main gallery, and she will be a visiting artist at the Museum.
