Kirsten Reynolds is a New Hampshire-based artist whose work has been on display in galleries throughout the East Coast. Her latest installment, The Other Last Moment, will show at the Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center.

Reynolds decides to explore the intersection of language, architecture, and the body in The Other Last Moment, using humor and the grotesque to “ceaselessly question the systems of thought that formed the original architectural space.” Much of the work appears on the verge of collapse, suspended in a way that insinuates both destruction and recreation.

“Modern physics and self-help gurus both agree that the observer affects the observed,” she writes, “What we think about a thing changes the thing itself. The question is: can a modern cynical society believe again in its own ability to make magic?”
