Seattle glass artist Kelly O’Dell’s exhibition is an exploration of existence and extinction, of preservation and decay.
Inspired by the changing of the seasons in the Pacific Northwest after growing up in the perpetual summer of the Hawaiian Islands, O’Dell’s work shines a light on the devastating impact of the human race on species in the wild.
The focal point of the exhibit is a piece entitled “Critical Masse.” Comprised of over 10 endangered species mounted on the wall in clusters, these “Ghost Animals” including the tiger, elephant, panda, rhino and more mimic hunting trophies displayed in a game room and are intended to highlight the 100 to 1,000 species that are lost per million per year, primarily due to human-caused habitat destruction and climate change.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. For more information, call (412) 365-2145.
