“Unsteady Vanishing Points” by Siri Stensberg is the next art exhibit to be featured in the Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery in the Moraine Valley Community College Fine and Performing Arts Center (FPAC), 9000 W. College Parkway in Palos Hills. The show runs Nov. 4 to Dec. 14, and the artist’s reception will be on Thursday, Nov. 7, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Unsteady Vanishing Points” is a playful, immersive exhibit about a common perspective tool. A vanishing point describes the moment of disappearance in the rendering of a space. They are small and fixed yet describe what cannot be seen. The found materials used converge to create these vanishing points that multiply and shift while turning the mind’s eye outward.
Stensberg’s background in music ignited her exploration of how materials resonate through time and space. Stensberg uses overlooked materials such as sound, pine needles, textiles, twigs, plastic and light to explore alternative experiences and challenge the perception that they are inanimate. She layers materials, paints and sews them into new forms while using light around sculptural marks to blur the boundaries of different mediums.
Stensberg grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Born into a musical family, she pursued classical music and visual art. She later completed a Master of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington.
The gallery is free and open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets to FPAC shows, visit morainevalley.edu/fpac/tickets or call (708) 974-5500.
