Colleen Critcher Exhibit

The Doctor N. Lee Morris Gallery will feature a “Want/Need” exhibit by artist Colleen Critcher. The exhibit, sponsored by Friends of Florence County Library, references consumer culture and will run through August 4. Colleen Critcher is a visual artist whose works focus on commodity culture, kitsch, and plastic things. Garden gnomes, unicorns, and dinosaurs are frequent subjects in her art. In her artist statement, Critcher says, “We are confronted by the things in every form and fashion available, in person, on your phone, on paper, through the radio waves, via the influencers who teach you what you do not already possess. The things consume our everyday. We think we consume them, but aren’t they really consuming us?”
