Past Resident
Joshua Challen Ice
Joshua Challen Ice’s body of work explores the idea of manufactured nostalgia: examining everyday items and reinterpreting how they may affect our lives. A heavy focus on foundational elements of composition, texture, and lighting creates a platform on which material and process motivate the form and function of Ice’s work. Assemblages of reclaimed construction mediums combined with high-tech light and video components probe our past and present, creating traversable territories and moments in time.
