Ellen Driscoll "Spill"
Brooklyn Public Library (Central)
This event has ended.
These drawings imagine a future world in which our present resource consumption results in the refugee camp atop the water tower, detritus floating near an outdoor field hospital with an oil rig on the horizon, and a military convoy near an abandoned highway overpass. Using the limited palette of grisaille or sepia, the worlds in these drawings are drained of color, yet filled with flux and fluids to indicate the instability of the worlds they depict.
The accordion book form allows for quiet, filmic transitions of scale, inviting the viewer to suspend disbelief and enter the small, compressed, dystopic worlds I've drawn.
