To Dusk, Art by Kenzie Sitterud

Opening April 28th, 2023 6-8 pm

Exhibition: April 28th - May 27th, 2023 @ the PlatteForum Annex Gallery

Gallery Hours: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 11-2 pm. Or by appointment at sstrand@platteforum.org

To Dusk replicates the landscape of the Utah desert through material metaphor. The show utilizes industrialized packing materials, and includes an experimental soundscape, performance video art, and collaborative quilt building inspired by Sitterrud's Mormon cultural heritage, highlighting the roots of quilt making as a way of passing on legacy and creating community. Seen as a whole, the exhibition merges colliding environments and cultural influences—the powerful impact the desert had on their formative memories, and the transformative impact capitalism has on us all.

Sitterud says: “I am exploring themes of expansionism, exploitation, and the complexities relating to my own upbringing in the American West.”
