Kelly A. Mueller has an eclectic practice that spans visual arts, performance, and installations meant to immerse the viewer into the environment. In the past, she has explored topics like lore, the environment, infrastructure, and animals. For this exhibition, she is digging deep. She’s working with ideas about interconnectivity, social empathy, symbiosis, and experimental collaboration. With her interactive (and inflatable) garden, she invites the viewer to become an active participant in the work by singing to it. The song will “feed” the garden, and cause it to grow. She is pointing to the intertwined state of being that we exist in with our environment.
“Of the haphazard use of mediums: For me, the pandemic was really a time to experiment with new materials. Marionettes? Boom. Mobiles? Why not. Encaustic, cyanotype? Sure thing. Inflatable sculpture? Yes, please.” - Mueller
