Common Ground Gallery, VisArts, 2nd floor

Opening Reception and Artist Talk: Friday, May 4, 7 – 9 PM

Voyager, a solo exhibition of new sculptures by Grant McFarland, explores how the life cycle of individuals and their possessions are entwined. McFarland constructs a sculptural requiem for the things born out of a commodity culture. Possessions accompany their owners through time, assuming a variety of roles as useful tools, hoarded junk, or valuable collections. Voyager is a symbolic funeral for the things that we make, accumulate, move around, pile up, and leave behind as symbols of endurance, but also of waste.
