Hannah Doerksen: The Bitterness of Bad Solitude (or To be Lost in Something you Designed Yourself)

Closing reception Oct. 20, 7 p.m.

Combining iconic imagery, popular media, and tactile objects in the creation of an immersive, set-like environment, The Bitterness of Bad Solitude (or To be Lost in Something you Designed Yourself) emanates a curiously unsettling energy. This uneasy spectre can be accounted for by the forced amalgamation of visual languages borrowed from generally antithetical points of reference; the exhibition shamelessly appropriates interior design elements from flashy night clubs, archetypical religious architecture, haunting Masonic temples, stale basement AA meetings, and subterranean government bunkers.
