SUPER POSTITION
Kenzie Wells
12.01.2021 - 12.17.2021
Through the mysterious ambience of deep space and fossilized forms, Kenzie Wells’ sculptural installations give form to the distorted mental landscapes caused by social structures of gender and sexuality, while simultaneously revealing the fundamental queerness humans embody. Super Position narrates a household scene that is in the process of becoming crystalized. Furniture fused with sand and marbled resin form a fossil record of the past, present, and speculative future.
