Strange Chemistry
?Margaux Crump
?Exhibition Dates: February 1 ? March 9, 2013
?Opening Reception: First Friday Gallery Walk, February 1, 2013, 6-10? p.m.

Margaux Crump?s work investigates change. She notes, ?Life cycles? are especially evocative and I find myself continually exploring the? materials, visual language, and emotions that embody cyclical? transformation.? More specifically, Crump is intrigued by human? response to the inevitable changes that occur both within and around? us. The series of sculptures in Strange Chemistry considers human? reception to birth, decay, and desire as informed by the fragility? of one?s own existence.

Crump?s works are characterized by unusual?often ephemeral?materials? ranging from gathered plant and animal remains to ultra-violet? light. She deliberately selects transient matter in an attempt to? mirror human experience?to remind herself, and the viewer, that we,? too, are fleeting. Crump is certain to explain that her works are? not exercises in morbidity: ?On the contrary, I see the? contemplation of mortality as a means to celebrate the beauty of? existence.?
