About this event
This exhibition chronicles Dr. Bill Russell’s 70-year relationship with the state of Kansas and his ongoing investigations of the socio-political landscape of Middle America. The patterns and rituals of Russell’s practice reflect how he processes, studies, and interprets the information due to being neurodivergent. His work forms a vibrant collage of mixed-media installations, calligraphy, storytelling, photomontage, and wearable garments. “I am a chronic observer—looking for stories in the woodwork and bringing them to life in three-dimensional space. As a conceptual folk artist on the autism spectrum, I make art to understand the world around me and explore questions about race, gender, family, and society. I use readily available resources, including digital media, cultivated and harvested natural materials, and detritus, to tell stories with implicit social commentary. Using color, form, volume, and perspective, I invite the audience to explore the underlying, often unseen, connections between the spaces we inhabit and the society that shapes us.”—Dr. Bill Russell
