Untitled (Forecast), 2017 - 2023 Graphite, cut paper inlay, tape 16-1/2 x 21-3/4	Artist Talk: Mark Rospenda Thursday, October 5, 2023 7:00 to 8:00 EDT Peeler Art Center, Auditorium  Join us for an engaging artist talk featuring Mark Rospenda and his thought-provoking exhibition, Filter Feeder. The talk will take place at the Peeler Art Center, Auditorium. Mark's work explores the concept of filter feeders, immobile ocean organisms that passively absorb food from their surroundings, drawing a parallel to the human experience of images constantly inundating us without seeking them actively. Through drawings and paper sculptures, Mark's self-portrait as a poetic representation of knowledge and belief raises questions about the fragility of our understanding when faced with moments that challenge our perceptions of reality. This event is free and open to the public.

During covid, the dioramas became a form of escapism, where viewers could pretend to shop in the konbini (convenience store), enjoy having friends over and playing in the kawaii bedroom, crafting in the pastel hobby room, or relaxing outside in the forest. The environments invite viewers into another world and my dolls are the tour guides. This event is free and open to the public.
