Julie Schenkelberg, The Color of Temperance: Embodied Energy, 2015 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The forgotten space plays a critical role in my work as it nearly always serves as either my canvas or palette, or both. In neglected homes, abandoned buildings, or even in the gallery space, my installations bring together familial memory, transformation and healing. My works examines the psychology of abandonment, seeking to bring compassion to the no longer desirable pieces of domestic lives. Strongly influenced by theater and my years as a master set painter, my sculptures act as small sets or environments within a larger space, often interacting and disrupting the established physical structure. My work draws on my personal story and imagery of the post-industrial ruins of my hometown, Cleveland, Ohio. By collecting these fragments of a decaying legend of America's Rust Belt, my dynamic sculptures bring new life to a forgotten past.” - @julieschenkelberg ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MFArchives #julieschenkelberg #tbt (at Mattress Factory - Museum of Contemporary Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdzbZAhbdb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z2uy05zz54xa
