By-product Becomes Product - Artists’ Talk
IFTA | WHEN: March 23, 1-3 pm | WHERE: 925 Mission St | Details: Christine Lee’s work sits between sculpture, furniture/woodworking, and installation. Her practice is characterized by an objective to reveal the latent potential of disregarded material. Influenced by the increasingly prevalent theories and practices of materials reclamation, resource conservation, and recycling in contemporary art, Lee is proposing an innovative solution to working with composite wood boards that are free of toxic adhesives and binders, effectively utilizing excess waste, offering a safer alternative to readily available plywood and medium-density fiberboard (commonly called MDF), and creating value to a common, abundant by-product for use by a range of artistic and industrial disciplines.
