EVEN A WORM WILL TURN
10/25/2024
Faith Chandler is an interdisciplinary artist exploring philospohical themes with material interventions. Through her use of everyday objects, recycled materials, and living-breathing plants, Faith examines mundane intimacies, personal dogmas of empathy, and a cultural obsession of overwhelm.
Faith was recently awarded by the College of Visual Arts and Design for her exemplary work in the biennial juried group exhibition Emergence at the University of North Texas.
Faith's first solo exhibition, Even a Worm Will Turn, showcases several works created by the artist over the last two years.
The idiom "even a worm will turn" indicates an individual frustration with collective agreements on invisible systems. A worm, the docile creature under investigation, mirrors the artist, a character of the system smothered by immense pressures and brought to the brink of retaliation and explosion.
