Tanner Gilliland-Swetland: A Long Away
MFA Thesis Exhibition
June 6, 7, 13, 14; 1–4 p.m. Reception: June 7, 6 p.m. Tanner Gilliland-Swetland’s MFA thesis exhibition titled A Long Away, is comprised of a series of sculptures all built from the salvaged cross-sections of a Mediterranean Cypress tree form his family’s backyard in Los Angeles. These works reference tools as both an entry-point for multi-sensory generative interactions and as a formal aesthetic rooted in craft, family heirlooms, and agrarianism. Hints of whimsy and absurdity in the sculpture’s designs mesh to challenge narratives of land use and notions of utilitarianism.Date and Time
