About the Installation:
​For the Birds: A means to create, not waste; is a visual examination of physical and fiscal resource use. A play on words, For the Birds… is a literal description of the pieces in the installation, as well as an example of creation using waste and recycled materials, made possible with the fiscal support of guaranteed income.

About the Exhibition (in the words of Olson):
​I will create plaster torso portraits of women constructed from plaster tape embellished with plastic. We are awash in plastic in every aspect of our lives. This project raises awareness that plastic is both a precious resource and a pervasive environmental pollutant. We are also becoming aware that it is inside us. This body of work highlights the complex relationships we have with plastic, the beauty of the human figure and how all women are objectified. These torso portraits will illustrate how women are taken for granted as producers of children, unpaid household laborers and as decorative objects. Each woman that is cast will have her own narrative fixed to the inside of the plaster cast. These narratives and portraits will explore the double bind that women face today; no matter who you are or what your shape or size; you are still criticized for who you are or what you look like. I want to create thought provoking pieces that highlight the environmental crisis, gender inequality and the hyper sexualization of women. I see connections between these separate issues, and I will use these pieces to explore these complex ideas.

On View in the Main Gallery from March 19 - April 27, 2024

William and Anna Jane Schlossman Gallery

Rob and Eric Thomas-Suwall – known online by their moniker, The Icy Gays or @theicygays – acquired their first artwork, Corydon Cowansage’s Stairs #3, seven years ago after discovering it online. To call this purchase life-changing would be an understatement. Becoming “art collectors” was never a goal for the couple, but this painting, with its surreal abstraction of nature, became the point of origin for their committed discovery and support of emerging queer and female artists which would ultimately grow into a landmark collection.
