Consume

"Consume" is a mixed media body of work dealing with the impact of mass consumerism on our lives.  Kindler tackles the every day things that form our conceptions of ourselves and our environment, underlining what we "choose" or "not choose" to become as individuals.  The inherent struggle of individuation is met head on with the reality of the programmed living we are subjected to through advertising, merchandising and the mores of our time.  Through mixed media paintings, photography and life scale sculptures Kindler presents a view of life that is humorous while revealing the hard truth of our obsessive consumerism. Here are images of the installation at Woodside/Braseth Gallery in Seattle. For individual works click on the first image to link to that page.
