Art Exhibit: The World We Make

Event Info

  June 4, 2026

  10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Isabella Losskarn and Jeff Schofield comment on the wasteful aspects of contemporary society, through brightly colored assemblages and hyper realistic imagery that challenges the viewer to reflect on mass consumption, over-production, and the manufactured business of everyday life.

The Opening Reception is June 4, from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Izzy Losskarn is a pastel artist, researcher, and writer who uses visual metaphor to criticize the intersection of capitalism, sex, and gender. Her hyper-realistic pastel artworks of strange, oftentimes absurd, and decidedly incorrect pop-culture product interactions have been exhibited in a number of institutions across the United States. In her Artist Statement, Izzy states, “A forgotten bunch of bludgeoned Bananas, a bent-up collection of Safety Pins, Shocking Power outlets, and Peeling-Product Stickers — these useful items are familiar harbingers of daily living under contemporary capitalism. Each drawing is a work of color theory and visual metaphor that offers a calculated feminist view on the pitfalls of contemporary popular culture.”

Jeff Schofield is both a sculptor and an architect by training. His artworks comment on human transgressions of natural and constructed environments. In his Artist Statement, he explains, “My art practice uses found materials to create artwork depicting visual aspects of climate change. Found objects are my palette. Remnants from dumpster dives and beach clean-ups provide fertile ground for artistic inspiration as well as raw materials for making art. Through methods of collecting and cataloguing, I create artworks evoking processes of over-production, mass consumption, waste, and recycling.”
