KELLY HIDER: INTERRUPTION

The Central Collective / 923 N. Central St. September 2, 2016 - September 20, 2016

Kelly Hider

Culled from an archive of slides taken in the 1950's and 60's, the images utilized in Kelly Hider's new exhibit, Interruption, are manipulated using visual language of decoration and cancellation. Influenced in part by Proto-Renaissance paintings, these contemporary iterations use accessible materials and familiar subjects to create moments of mystical fiction. The glitter flocking embellishments are craft-store-versions of punched gold-leaf; photography and digital editing software a modern substitution for oil paint. Each piece contains calculated, surreal moments within familiar contexts, leading the viewer to ask further questions about life, death, and resurrection.
