Matter Matters Opening
July 28, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - July 29, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
Hundreds of colorful straws assembled into an abstract arrangement. Fifty pool noodles arranged on a wall to create a dynamic sculpture. Artist Amelia Key elevates and transforms ordinary objects into beautiful creations by composing collections of everyday ephemera into artworks. This assortment of pieces that creatively incorporate waste materials to highlight their impact on daily life and the environment will be exhibited at Matter Matters in the ArtWorks V2 Gallery from July 28 to September 15.
ArtWorks is holding a free public opening reception on Friday, July 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the V2 Gallery. Registrations are requested but not required.
Key and the group of artists worked hard to create a meaningful dialogue about plastic, waste, the environment, and the intricate relationship between materials and concepts. Materials used in the works on view came from a variety of sources, including the Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub, LaSoupe, SIGHT Eyecare and Eyewear in Wyoming, and individual donations.
