In this art exhibition, Isabella (Izzy) Losskarn and Jeff Schofield comment on the wasteful aspects of contemporary society, through brightly colored assemblages and hyper realistic imagery that challenges the viewer to reflect on mass consumption, over-production, and the manufactured business of everyday life. Izzy Losskarn is a pastel artist, researcher, and writer who uses visual metaphor to criticize the intersection of capitalism, sex, and gender. Jeff Schofield is both a sculptor and an architect by training. His artworks comment on human transgressions of natural and constructed environments.
