exhibition: Beginning at the End
Recology, San Francisco
2012

During Donna Anderson Kam’s residency at Recology San Francisco in 2012, Anderson Kam used the Recology facility as back drop for her actors and recognizable areas—the sculpture garden, hillside, and Public Disposal Building are all visible in her final pieces. She has also incorporated new materials into her practice including computer paper and advertising signage, and as pastels have been harder to come by, is working with varieties of chalks and crayons. Expanding on the narrative nature of her work, she presented drawings in free-standing circular formats, enabling the viewer to walk around a piece, entering and exiting at any place, to create their own beginnings and ends.
