re·pur·pose: A Work in Material Gestures





A Collabortive Work in Brick, Wool and Seed
Amber Ginsburg - Carla Duarte - Lia Rousse

From Amber's website:

Three scaffolds, three carts and three materials come together as a system. The collaborative, Work-In-Progress reconfigures materials associated with food, clothing and shelter within the 12x12 space at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA). Repurposed bricks, sweaters and seeds are bound together into hundreds of multiples. Employing the nature of the materials, the absorbent quality of the brick juxtaposing the wicking nature of the wool provides a structure for seeds to sprout.
