"Games" |
Kristin Kuhn's interactive wood assemblages "are intended to engage not just the viewers eyes but their mind and hands as well." The colorful works combine; lights with switches, doors that open, parts that pull, push, turn, stack, hook and click. While the view interacts, and even "plays" with the work, images and text provoke thoughts in response to political-societal issues such as, our polarized society and concepts of truth. Many of the assemblages are constructed to function as kind of game that allows the participants to establish the rules, if any. The intent is to prompt discussion as type of engagement. In this way the player becomes an aspect of the assemblage. Kristin Kuhns began exhibiting art while living on Maui, Hawaii 25 years ago. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Art from Western Oregon University in 1988 and maintains a studio at her home in West Salem. She has served as a part-time adjunct art instructor for Willamette University during the last ten years. |
