Artists Griffith Baker, Twlya Exner, Mae Leong and Troy Ouellette follow a legacy of creating critical works from found objects. In Detritus Ecologies they take waste, the occurrence of our excess and turn this into artistic statements, thought provocative projects that raise awareness to the tragic amount of stuff our lifestyle(s) generate. The works in this exhibition reach beyond any form of didactic that may be mistaken for guilt inducing messages. Rather they are subtle processes that utilize the creative process of contemporary practice and dialogue to grapple with a subject that will affect our culture, its means of production, sustainability and stability.
