Stefan Gonzales: Field Research

Seattle artist Stefan Gonzales brings an obsessive focus to often-overlooked industrial resources: materials displaced from the land and put to work to support everyday existence. Field Research—their first solo museum exhibition—spotlights rock salt, used to deice roads. Sculptures, photographs, archival cabinets, and a film document the artist’s sustained observation of their collected materials, including how rock salt disintegrates and crystallizes in water.
