HyperFusion: The Event Horizon of Consumption

HyperFusion: The Event Horizon of Consumption

HyperFusion: The Event Horizon of Consumption beckons viewers to question our relationship with waste, both terrestrial and cosmic, and to consider the far-reaching implications of our collective actions on our lives and generations to come. The artwork serves as a cautionary tale, urging us to rethink our role as stewards of our world and advocates for responsible consumption on a planetary scale.

Reno native Kyle Karrasch developed artistic abilities at a young age. After graduating high school Kyle left for the Academy of Art in San Francisco with hopes of becoming a professional illustrator. Not long into the academy, he discovered his passion for sculpture. Kyle left the Academy of Fine Arts in pursuit of a higher understanding of art theory. He enrolled in the Fine Arts program at the University of Nevada, Reno graduating in 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts and a minor in art history. Kyle would then go on to pursue a Master in Fine Art degree which he received in 2022 from the University of Nevada, Reno. Kyle is currently working as the Galleries Curator at Truckee Meadows Community College and teaches at both the University of Nevada, Reno and Truckee Meadows Community College. He also continues in his art practice in creating sculptural works that intend to provoke commentary on consumption and environmental conservation. His work has been on display throughout the Reno and the Carson City area as well as the Keck Museum.
