Refuse \u2013 Original Art by LuDel Deal Walter<\/p>\n

The Refuse of life remains.\u00a0 We Refuse to look at it.\u00a0 This work Re-fuses the discarded object with meaning. My work communicates the boundaries of where time passes into memory and life passes into death.\u00a0 How does memory hold the past captive?\u00a0 How does place tie into time and memory?\u00a0 This body of work refuses the passage of time by freezing the process of decay — a stop-action of a very slow natural process.\u00a0 Memory seems to work in a similar fashion; as we recall people and events from our memories, they are frozen at a particular time like stop-action movie stills or loops of a single scene.<\/em><\/p>\n

I incorporate objects that are often ignored or overlooked to create meaning.\u00a0 The carcasses and the refuse of our lives are more than simple objects; they connect to the time when life and purpose was contained there.\u00a0 I am using recycled and found objects (hand-made paper, junk, bones, etc.) to represent the passage of time and the space between life and death.\u00a0 I find that by using images of actual carcasses and garbage in combination with textured papers and found objects, I have a stronger connection to the work because I’m forced to consider the feelings of disgust, shame and ambivalence surrounding the objects.\u00a0 This body of work refuses the inevitability of\u00a0 loss of meaning and purpose. We no longer revere life enough to consider the process of dying; because we can’t embrace death, we can’t fully embrace life.\u00a0 Every living thing has a quality that leaves the body at the time of death.\u00a0 Every object has a quality of memory.\u00a0 What is that liminal quality?\u00a0 Where is it?\u00a0 These pieces are intended to ask the viewer to consider the life and purpose that once inhabited these images<\/em>. – LuDel Deal Walter<\/p>\n

The Corridor Gallery<\/a> proudly presents \u201cRefuse\u201d, a solo exhibit of Wyoming artist LuDel Deal Walter. LuDel is an accomplished artist that is following through with her first Corridor solo exhibit after winning \u201cBest In Show\u201d during a past Corridor call-for-entries show based upon the subject of religion. The public and press are invited to attend the opening reception of \u201cRefuse\u201d on Friday, March 30th at 7pm. The exhibit will show only through Sunday, April 1st.
