The art in Rian Kerrane’s exhibition, Housekeeping, emphasizes the effort, accumulation, consumption, and work in housework. The gallery is filled with seemingly random objects: mops and buckets, an umbrella, plastic lids, hair curlers, a light switch, a vent cover, a clutch, or an ironing board. Tying everything together are ephemeral emojis, fashioned into heavy metal brands. Upon closer inspection, everyday throwaway objects have been finely crafted in heavy steel and iron. Kerrane captures and preserves the effects of our lives and relationships through thought-provoking sculptures and language, causing us to consider our own impact on the environment as we navigate the world and society around us.
