Mallory Kimmel is a Maryland-based artist, who makes conceptual furniture to address exclusionary design practices. She focuses on disrupting loopholes used to deny human rights. Placing the focus on object-centric forms of possession, exclusion, objectification, and consumption helps to unravel the exploitation of objects to address the same forms of abuse applied to people. Kimmel believes if you liberate objects, you liberate people. Kimmel looks to objects and people as co-facilitators to democratize comfort-based privilege.
