Abby Edwards</a>, whose work explores the human experience through absurdity, humor, and child-like curiosity. Her installation Dirt and Stardust examines the relationship between humankind’s inner worlds and the outer cosmos through bold and colorful compositions.</p><p>Dr. Katie Geha, Director of the Dodd Galleries at the University of Georgia, selected Edwards’ proposal, noting: “Abby Edwards proposal for Boxed In/Break Out was accomplished and realized. Her works have a playful approach to the unknown, UFOs, and the awe that accompanies the exploration of the unknown. Her sculptures, exaggerated in form and color, display an absurdist examination of our inner and outer galaxies. Her work will read particularly well from the street and inspire joy in the casual passer-by.” Recognizing that the unknown can be an unsettling topic, Edwards ultimately invites curiosity, inspiring viewers to ask questions, and reignite their imaginations.</p><p><br></p>" itemprop="description" />

Jim Campbell</a> (b. 1956), whose light-based works explore the limits of human perception. Holding degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from MIT, along with patents for his work in development of high-definition video, Campbell is widely known for his low-resolution moving images created by arrays of LEDS. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to the San Francisco-based artist’s works in the Southeast and will coincide with Telfair’s 2025 PULSE Art + Technology Festival.</p><p>Thresholds of Perception includes a sampling of Campbell’s low-resolution works spanning more than 20 years of his output. His captivating images engage the viewer in a primal act of looking and recognition, bringing physical materiality and humanizing elements to the digital. Works such as Color Home Movies, which incorporates found footage from anonymous home movies, are stripped down to animated pixels of light which rely on the viewer’s memory and imagination to complete the missing information. Recognition often comes from movement, for example the gait of an individual walking in Campbell’s Motion and Rest series. In one of Campbell’s major works Eroding Wave, 3,456 LED lights extend into the viewers’ space, dispersing light in three dimensional particles as silhouettes of swimmers move upward through a sculptural wave.</p><p><br></p>" itemprop="description" />
