Forget About the Future
Cydney M. Lewis
August 30th - September 25th

​contact kim@elephantroomgallery.com or 312-361-0281 with any inquiries
Forget About the Future is a series of sculptures, installations and paintings that Cydney Lewis has created using found plastic bags.  Each piece tells a story about the human subject and is a reflection of Lewis' own studies of the people she sees in her life.  Lewis has reinvented the plastic bags she saw stuck in neighbor's fences and caught in the trees.  By painting, twisting and forming the bags into her vision, she has created art with our own consumption.  The work speaks not only to the narrative she is implying, but begs for a connection between that and what the work is made from.  The logos and designs on the bags are not hidden throughout each piece as the vibrant colors and 3-D elements pop out.  This labor intensive work is a successful study of our own consumption in relation to the world around us that contains so many individual stories and important interactions.
