"Eye Candy" by Charlotte Kruk

Nov. 16, 2012 – Jan 25, 2013

Bay Area artist Charlotte Kruk creates wearable sculptures that humorously comment on a culture often known for comparing women, particularly well-dressed women, to decorations, consumables…“Eye candy.” With an obsessive-compulsive approach to the assembly of her designs, she initiates a dialogue on packaging, brand association, and power structure by reusing discarded candy wrappings and other various packaging as her primary palette. Her sculptures also direct a commentary on the gluttony and wastefulness of a disposable, packaged society. Kruk is fascinated by the energy and creativity involved in making flashy packaging – carefully researched branding and graphics that seduce… Encouraging consumers to purchase, only to later discard their initial allure to rubbish. Reinventing these discards as her palette, she transforms the inherent beauty of these discards into multi-layered works of beauty… With a bite.
