Matt Siber & A.N. Pritzker Elementary School
Project Overview
One aspect of my residency at the A.N. Pritzker Elementary school is an examination of the objects within the school. From singular objects that become emphasized through photography, to temporary assemblages of multiple objects that are as much a result of my own sculptural sensibilities as they are about relating these objects to one another in unexpected ways. In series, the images create a set of relationships that speak to the physical aspects of the educational environment, while inviting the viewer to apply metaphorical connections.
