Happy New Year! We hope everyone is having a great holiday. Don't forget to come see the show before it comes down later this month!

Our next Artist is Cooper Keene:
"I have found a calling to explore the eerie beauty of the landscapes that surround me and the abandoned structures that inhabit it. Combining this with a dark dreamlike quality, I strive to make my paintings, sculptures, and photography a portal to a familiar yet unsettling place. The rural settings I include in my work are aimed to resonate with the viewer, to remind them of the isolation that is common in rural life. Each abandoned building at face value shows decay and neglect, but on a deeper level serves as a vessel for memories and the passage of time in regard to human existence.
The use of doll parts throughout my work furthers this notion of examining human existence. The deconstruction of anatomical children's toys allows consideration of humanity, identity, and the feeling of being disconnected. With the study of abandoned buildings and the use of doll parts, these themes of mental health are naturally mirrored into my work.
My mission is to create a space for the viewer to reflect on their own mental health through questioning life's complexities. Alongside the introspective thoughts that doll parts and abandoned buildings may evoke; I invite you into these neglected spaces and create the story for yourself of what memories these places hold."
