Your Cart is Empty, the current show at Flynndog Gallery in Burlington, VT, features the sculpture and installation work of Kevin Donegan. Populating the floor, walls, and ceiling with colorful objects that he has found, altered, and crafted, Kevin explores his own relationship to “stuff” and, by extension, our broader culture.
The show revolves around three central symbols – shopping carts, currency, and trash containers – which are employed in free standing sculpture, works in suspension, and wall paintings. Tapping into concepts such as consumption, inequality, and waste, Kevin uses these recurrent symbols to express his views on a broad spectrum of the modern experience.
Part of the work is the process of collecting, and the value placed on recycling, reusing, and remembering. Therefore, most of the material utilized in the show was found discarded around Burlington, obtained secondhand, or recycled from Kevin’s own personal history.
