People have imbued objects with magical power throughout time -- to ward off spirits, teach lessons, grant wishes and commemorate people and events. The artists in Emotive Objects create sculptural objects and mixed media paintings that comprise memory vessels containing personal, cultural and historical narratives.
Selected from Open Call 2020, these 13 artists seek strategies through their process, materials, and forms to create intriguing objects and visual representations that transport us to places both familiar and unknown. Cast offs, family heirlooms, childhood drawings, computer code, repetitive processes and accumulation of materials are some of the ways these artists tap into individual, collective thoughts and memories to derive meaning.
