Kathleen Thum's drawings explore the likenesses
between man, earth, and infrastructure
Crisscrossed scaffolding, pipelines, and pathways dominate Kathleen Thum's work -- infrastructural elements at once arterial, lifegiving, and suffocatingly dense. Thum compresses the terrestrial landscape with man-made elements to capture the "ongoing shift of power between mankind and the earth." In exploring this complex relationship, the earth is as much integrated with these man-made systems as it is disturbed by them. Thum's drawings will be displayed as part of the Clemson Department of Art Faculty Exhibition, which features works of 10 other faculty members in various media, including sculpture, digital media, and printmaking. -Casey Lovegrove
