Complex Systems: Tensile Strength- a solo exhibition by Amelia Key

K Space Contemporary is delighted to present Complex Systems: Tensile Strength  a solo exhibition by Amelia Key. The exhibition will launch with ArtWalk on Friday July 5 from 6 to 10 pm and will run through August 23 2024.

Amelia Key creates colorful sculpture made with everyday items like rubber bands straws bubble wrap pool noodles and other things we usually just throw-away. In her new exhibition Complex Systems: Tensile Strength Key presents several site-specific pieces in K Space Contemporary’s Clower Gallery.  

Inspired by the plethora of plastic objects available at a whim Amelia Key purchases collects and finds materials wherever she goes. Through this process of collecting she imbues typically disposable objects with a sense of preciousness. These items are chosen for their bright colors plasticity shape and texture which she then alters and re-purposes to create new forms. Familiar objects become three-dimensional methods of mark-making in space. Through color exploration and repetition these objects transcend their purpose ultimately turning the mundane into the magical.
