A manifestation of potential energy that, over time, finds definition as culturally relevant forms of object, painting, structure, and surface, Excess of Void utilizes the museum as an incubator for the pre-form stage of realization through which Carlson and Anderson explore the museums role in the trajectory of creative output.

The blanket was made to function as both a sweet gesture & as an amplification of the superficial comfort of consoling phrases a literal play on the blanket as an emotionally comforting facade. Slide 14 Slide 15 Keetra Dean Dixon straddles a wide set of mediums in her playful and process-oriented work. With a foothold in graphic design, she often reaches into speculative terrain including experiential work, installation, and sculpture. By leveraging emergent technologies and shortcomings in ubiquitous creative tools Dixon evolves form and integrates discovery into the design process. Her projects are spurred on by the fallibility of communication and attempts to connect. By utilizing the flicker between concise communication and confusion, Dixon hopes to provide surprising and mesmerizing moments in the discord between intention, action and interpretation.
