Genesis Belanger Coaxes the Uncanny from Vignettes of Consumption and Gluttony
Briefly

Belanger's exhibition presents everyday life gone awry, using humor and absurdity to critique consumerism through vivid vignettes and sculptural interpretations.
In 'Self-Awareness,' Belanger features objects like knotted candlesticks that symbolize the stress of a 9-to-5 job, exploring themes of self-curation and societal expectations.
The artist's use of vivid colors and varied materials in her new works highlights a departure from her earlier pastel sculptures, emphasizing boldness in everyday beauty.
Belanger often symbolizes human identity through fragmented representations, using food and abstract forms to evoke themes of growth and desire in modern life.
