Matt Voelker’s exploration of clay as a medium for dimensional illustrations results in eccentric worlds that juxtapose figures, objects and scenery. The sculpted objects are composed in these imagined worlds and then photographed with the final image serving as an illustration. Built on the concept of postmodern picture books, Voelker’s illustrations reposition the viewer’s relationship with the text.
Admission is free.
