Opening tomorrow, the first of this year's senior art gallery exhibitions, Izzy Kolb: "What if I live life in all the wrong ways?" Exhibition: 1/23-1/27 Gallery Reception: Thurs. 1/25, 6-7 p.m. An installation of sculpture, ephemera, projected video and more.

My process as an artist requires a prioritized relationship distinguishing my own internal voice from all other noise. My creative process, using self-imposed rules prohibiting social media use, revealed my long-standing dependency on this technology as a form of escapism. Through this work, I question the fundamental experience of endless visual entertainment, influence, and all-encompassing distraction. https://bit.ly/48vUJr1
