Artwork Description


Text reads: Don’t bring yourself into this; don’t let yourself in. The bright and colorful material that builds up the text is alluring and acts to draw the viewer towards the work. Additionally, the pixilated and spiraled text moves between states of legibility further attracting and positioning the viewer into a location, only to be warned to not be there and to not attempt contemplation of the work.

The presentation of language juxtaposed within precisely determined materials and forms has been the focus of my work. The combination of these three elements is arranged such that the text on display, chosen materials, and the form of a work is complementary to an overall concept. The content of the text primarily drives the form but is also chosen for its’ capacity to engage the viewer. The ambitions being that one is implicated as a social participant, as well as experiencing a moment of poetic disassociation born from slippages between expectations of language and what is given. Campbell received a MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art (2005). He has been the recipient of the DeGolyer Award from the Dallas Museum of Art and a resident at ArtFarm (NE). Campell’s work has exhibited at the Salt Lake Art Center, UT; Arlington Museum of Art, TX; and The Tate Modern, London. He is a member of the artist collective Vox Populi.
