STANTON HUNTER: Accumulations
•
Gathering
materials from the industrial area surrounding the gallery, the artist has
created self-described shard towers and collections utilizing debris specific
to the neighborhood. Asphalt, glass and metal are some of the found resources
referencing both recent past and near future developments along the Walnut
Street corridor. Both geological and archeological, the towers function as
modern ruins while the collections – compound objects pieced together
– synthesize into enigmatic forms, asserting their own character.
