A mixed media exhibition and installation showing the beauty and ugly within nature.

About

Flourish/Fester is a solo exhibition of recent work by mixed media artist K Haskell.  Their body of work focuses on connecting the unwanted elements of Brooklyn’s nature to the desirable ones executed through graphic drawings and mixed media collages.  Haskell’s making begins with a natural treasure hunt of the world around them.   “I often become a watcher, an observer, sometimes feeling like a voyeuristic outsider searching for inspiration that presents itself throughout my path of travel. I am in awe of the things you don’t want to see as well as the items that are considered attractive.  Imagery of decomposing animal flesh, rotting vegetation, blossoming botanicals, textures on tree bark and oyster shells; these are some of the components that inspire my visual library.” Haskell uses these specimens and becomes the filter of the unsightly to give their audience an anonymous glimpse of the ugly and beautiful treasures left behind from the city.  Flourish/Fester will include a site-specific installation as well as a series of layered resin collages.
