Elisabeth Higgins O’Connor (MFA 2005) will unveil her new installation, “Causatum,” and take part in an intimate sidewalk artist talk on Friday, June 26 from 6-7 pm.

The public is invited to gather on the sidewalk for a discussion with O’Connor and SFAC Galleries Associate Curator Jackie Im. They’ll discuss how the artist transformed the empty storefront gallery into a den for her massive sculptural creatures. O’Connor’s use of traditional bedding materials make her sculptures accessible, even a little cuddly, despite their monstrous size. With their mixture of patterns and various degrees of disarray, they convey a degree of pathos, like much-loved stuffed animals rendered threadbare over time, only magnified to an absurd degree.
