Checklist

In his first exhibition with the gallery, Ryan Decker is taking a hike. A walk down a winding trail where he deploys the materials of camping to transmute experiences from an adolescence spent experimenting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia. Decker has created sculptural work on the border of figuration that explore the function and convenience of modern tools with the inherent chaos of nature. Escalator to the Overlook describes seemingly incompatible methods of escapism by merging the refuge found in digital spaces with the experience of retreating to the great outdoors.
