“I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller.
In my work I am looking at the inbetweenness of things; this show is a conversation around an unattainable answer. Most of life is an ambiguous feeling or unnamable experience, these works are considerations of how my experiences are influenced by time. Painting itself is a negotiation and a way to measure time, the building up of layers are indications and markers of things that surround me.
Kellen Chasuk (b. 1995) lives and works in Oakland, CA her studio practice is a reflection of daily life and its accumulated anxiety explored through a humorous lens. She attended Pacific Northwest college of art and San Francisco Art Institute.
