Married artist/designers Nathan Gorgen and Molly Jo Burke, based in Cincinnati, comprise Byproduct Studios, a collaborative practice focused on the balance of artistic, family, and professional life. Their work explores domestic life and space through the use of artifacts and materials generated by their children, home renovations, individual practices, and collections. Of particular interest to the artists are materials that are, or appear to be, soft and malleable, and that do, or seem to, slump, stretch, flow, drip, and squish. These qualities are shared with the human body and lend an organic, biological character to the work. The results are whimsical creations that are chaotic, joyful, and curious; they challenge the audience to reconsider the environments and objects that we all encounter daily.
