As a 2007 graduate from Kent State University, Elaine Hullihen (Kent, OH) draws from her studies of sculpture and scenic painting for theatre to create work that utilizes both performance and structural elements. The artist manipulates familiar objects and materials and then presents them outside of their normal function to demonstrate shifts in meaning through altered contexts.

In a float, a flicker Hullihen explores the ceaselessness of time and apprehending time's unstoppable current.

In conjunction with Hullihen's SPACELab project and The Plum Academy, Hullihen will lead Float a Float. Hullihen's "floats" are wearable devices to help individuals navigate the flow of rivers. In this workshop, participants will make their own float with Hullihen and on the following Saturday, float them down the river.
