Derick Melander, The Witness

Join us for an Opening Reception of work by our Laundry King Artist in Residence, Derick Melander. Melander creates clothing sculptures that explore the intersection between global consumerism and the intimate relationship we have with what we wear. For Melander, the process of sorting, folding and stacking adds a layer of meaning to the work. When he comes across a dress with a hand-sewn repair, a coat with a name written inside the collar, the work starts to feel like a collective portrait. His goal is to celebrate and honor both the individual and the community in each work he creates.
