Overconsumption and Our Relationship to Stuff What is the environmental impact of a global economy built on the need to buy more stuff? How does one individual's personal shopping contribute to the waste produced by excess consumerism? Where do we each fit into this construct, and how can we change it? 'Too Much!' calls attention to the effect of overconsumption on both people and the planet. Each of the artists in this exhibit contemplate various effects of consumerism in culture and society. The show is composed of a wide range of media including sculpture, photography, fiber art, collage and site specific installations. Themes include plastic pollution, recycling, fast fashion, capitalism, advertising and desire. Surface Tension Amanda Thackray's solo exhibition, Surface Tension, presents the artist's handmade paper installations, prints and sculpture that comment on plastic pollution and the fragility of the marine environment. The exhibition reflects and distorts the natural world of our oceans inside the gallery space.
