Compassion Factory (Factory 49, From FundaMENTAL Factory Series)

2024

About the Item

Kathy Kissik’s Compassion Factory (2024), part of her FundaMENTAL Factory Series at Factory 49, is a striking mixed-media artwork that combines collage, acrylic paint, found objects, and a repurposed chrome letter "O," alongside epoxy and varnish to create a dimensional exploration of human empathy and industrialization. The piece measures 8.5 x 7.5 x 3.75 inches and integrates various textures and materials to evoke a sense of complexity and depth. The juxtaposition of polished chrome with raw, tactile surfaces speaks to the tension between humanity and the mechanized world. The chrome "O" serves as both a focal point and symbol of unity, while the rich layers of paint and collage elements suggest a fragmented yet interconnected view of modern existence. The use of epoxy and varnish provides a glossy finish, giving the work a contemporary, almost industrial aesthetic, while also highlighting its multifaceted structure. Kissik’s innovative use of found objects invites reflection on the concept of transformation, turning everyday materials into thought-provoking symbols. This piece challenges the viewer to consider the role of compassion in an increasingly mechanized society, where human connection can sometimes feel as though it's being swallowed by the relentless demands of production and progress.
